Built for UK small businesses

Staff compliance for newsagents — simple and affordable

Newsagents often rely on a small, mixed team — some with time-limited visas, some with part-time arrangements. KornerIQ tracks every right-to-work check, flags upcoming expiry dates, and keeps your staff records in order — without needing an HR department or IT support.

Sound familiar?

  • Mixed team with different visa types and expiry dates — no central view of who is due for re-checking
  • Paper-based right-to-work checks — easy to lose before a Home Office inspection
  • No system for holiday requests or sick leave records
  • Training certificates tracked in a notebook — lapse dates missed
  • No time for paperwork when the shop is busy

KornerIQ replaces all of this with one dashboard — built for the way UK small businesses actually run.

Holiday and sick leave

Digital holiday requests and sick leave logging. Annual leave balances calculated automatically.

Training and certifications

Track any certification that has an expiry date — food hygiene, first aid, fire safety. Alerts before anything lapses.

Frequently asked questions

Do newsagents need to check the right to work of all staff?

Yes. UK law requires employers to check the right to work of every employee before they start work — regardless of their nationality. The check must be completed before the first day of work and the evidence kept for the duration of employment plus 2 years.

What happens if a Home Office inspector visits my newsagent?

A Home Office inspector can arrive unannounced and request to see your right-to-work records for all current employees. If you cannot produce them, you lose your statutory excuse — even if the original check was conducted. KornerIQ stores all evidence digitally so you can produce it immediately.

How much does KornerIQ cost for a small newsagent?

KornerIQ starts from £9/month for up to 5 employees. Most newsagents with a small team pay less than £15/month — less than the cost of a single day of admin time.
