UK food delivery companies increase checks on illegal workers
Briefly

The UK's largest food delivery services, Uber Eats, Deliveroo, and Just Eat, will implement enhanced security measures, including facial verification and fraud detection, following government concerns over illegal employment. This initiative is part of a response to reports of unauthorized workers using these platforms, particularly highlighted during a recent visit by shadow home secretary Chris Philp. Deliveroo will increase the frequency of its existing facial recognition checks. Government officials stress that illegal working undermines lawful employment and will closely monitor the companies’ compliance with these new measures over the next 90 days.
The UK’s three largest food delivery firms have committed to using advanced security measures, including facial verification, to combat illegal working and protect legal workers.
Angela Eagle emphasized that the government will monitor the firms' progress closely, reinforcing a stance against illegal working that undermines honest business.
