WTTA check: are you subject to the licensing duty — and will you be ready in time?
As a labour supplier, establish whether the WTTA licensing duty applies to you; as a hirer, what the act means for your contingent workforce. The check gives the scope outcome with its reason, a readiness picture across the four admission requirements or across your current hiring practice, and the recorded dates from registration through to enforcement.
Who it’s for
What the tool does
Two sides of the same chain
The WTTA affects suppliers and hirers in different ways. A supplier needs an admission and must meet hard requirements for it: certification, criminal-record declarations, a deposit and an internal framework. A hirer needs no admission but will only be allowed to hire from admitted suppliers — and carries the risk if that turns out not to be the case. Both sides therefore share a deadline but face very different preparation.
The check serves both routes and sets the outcome against the calendar. For suppliers the NAU registration window runs to the end of 2026 and the application period to 30 June 2027; for hirers the register becomes searchable from 1 July 2027 and enforcement starts on 1 January 2028. The report records your outcome, your readiness and those dates with tool version and dataset vintage, so a reassessment stays comparable later — and so it is visible which state of the rules the outcome rests on.
