EU,EEA and Switz Citizens
The UK has left the European Union (EU) and the Immigration and Social Security Coordination (EU Withdrawal) Act 2020 ended free movement law in the UK on 31 December 2020. There followed a grace period of six-months during which relevant aspects of free movement law were saved to allow eligible EEA citizens and their family members resident in the UK by 31 December 2020 to apply to the EUSS. This period ended on 30 June 2021. This means you now need to provide a Share Code to employers which will show that you can legal work in the UK.
