Right to Work check (RTW)
Know with a Right to Work check direct of een kandidaat mag werken volgens de actuele wet- and regelgeving, klaar voor elke audit of inspectie. Een identiteitsbewijs vertelt immers wie iemand is, niet of diegene mag werken.
Direct insight into the employment law status of each employee.
Who is allowed to work?
You no longer have to figure it out yourself
An identity check tells you who someone is. But do you also know whether that person is actually entitled to work in your country, sector or chain? This is a daily challenge for temporary workers, logistics Service providers and international employers. Local laws and regulations are constantly changing, and the responsibility for correct employment often lies entirely with you.
Of Datachecker 's Right to Work check you get immediate certainty about the work status of each candidate. We combine identity verification with smart logic and additional document checks. Our technology automatically determines based on the ID document which additional proof is required (such as BSN statement, work permit or residence document), and guides the candidate step by step.
Selfie & liveness check
- ✓ ID verification
- ✓ Face verification
- ✓ Liveness control
- ✓ Deepfake detection
Two questions determine whether someone can start.
An RTW check never stands alone. Before you can assess work rights, it must be established who you are dealing with. A reliable check therefore answers two questions, in a fixed order.
QUESTION 1 — IDENTITY
Who is this person?
The identity document is checked for authenticity and linked to the person who provides it. Without a reliable identity, a work permit means nothing: the document must belong to the candidate.
QUESTION 2 — WORK LAW
Can this person work in our country?
The residence permit and labor market endorsement are checked: is work freely permitted, or is a work permit (TWV) or combined permit (GVVA) required?
The RTW check from DataChecker answers both questions in one flow and records the result in a conclusive file.

Frequently asked questions about the RTW check.
What is an RTW check?
Een RTW check (right to work check) is a check with which you determine whether someone is legally allowed to work in the Netherlands. The check verifies the identity document, residence permit and any work permits before the first working day starts.
Is an RTW check mandatory in the Netherlands?
Under the Aliens Employment Act, employers and hirers must check whether an employee is allowed to work in the Netherlands. This check must be carried out before work starts and must be demonstrable, even when hired through an employment agency or subcontractor.
What is the difference between an RTW check and an ID verification?
An ID verification determines who someone is, an RTW check determines whether that person is allowed to work. The two belong together: without a reliable identity, a work permit means nothing. That is why every RTW check starts with an ID verification.
Which documents do you check during an RTW check?
The identity document, the residence permit with labor market endorsement and, where necessary, the work permit (TWV) or combined permit (GVVA). The labor market annotation on the residence document indicates whether work is freely permitted or whether a permit is required.
When is a work permit (TWV) required?
As a rule, for employees from outside the EEA and Switzerland without a residence permit that allows work freely. Whether a TWV or GVVA is required depends on nationality, residence status and the nature of the work. The RTW check provides insight into this for each candidate.
How do you check a UK share code?
You can show it with a share code from the British government right to workproof of a candidate in the UK online. The candidate shares the code, after which the working right is checked through the official source. Bee DataChecker this is part of the same RTW flow.
What does an employer risk without an RTW check?
Fines from the Dutch Labor Inspectorate, per violation and per employee, plus possible shutdown and reputational damage. The amount depends on the situation and whether there is a recurrence. A conclusive RTW file shows that you have fulfilled your inspection obligation.
Trust as a foundation.
