so raging with employer!!!!!!

I'm absolutley shaking, my fiance just got a job with his coa after getting one with right to work and HR apparently said no because "south africa isn't commonwealth" =/ then when my fiance took a rage and said his uncle just got a job with his COA they got back and said NOW they are sending off for the employee verification check! It said to do that on the COA! They are clearly not clued up on the legislation. What do I do if they still say no or have not done the document check properly? We feel like they are being discriminatory because he has a SA passport!

As a fellow South African, I doubt they are being discriminatory (even though SA is part of the commonwealth).

Employers are very cautious about right to work because of the huge fines they can get for not doing their checks properly. Employers also are not overly clued up on the EU regulations when it comes to the non-EU family member.

If they do the necessary checks with HO, everything should be fine, so I would suggest wait for their response. Getting into a 'rage' with the employer is not going to be helpful.

Yeah I know you're right, it's just the attitude they had. He was told a straight up "we can't employ you" , they hadn't done the verification check until he said they can't refuse him because they don't like his SA passport (which is what they said they had an issue with)
