Filling out job applications and one of them I have to fill in a equal oppurtunities monitoring form etc.
One of the questions is, Am I a resident worker?
It then doesn’t explain what it is. Which is helpful. And nor is Google.
Only description I’ve found says
“A resident worker is a person is european economic area (EEA) national or a person who has settled status in the UK within the meaning of the Immigration Act 1971”
I guess this means I am?
As a student, theoretically you are not. You are a resident UK citizen though. 
The reason they ask this is for legal reasons. They cannot employ you if you are not a UK resident and you have to in some cases prove your identity. The most usual way I’ve heard of is by producing your National Insurance details, which are only issued to UK citizens.
They can be sued by the Government under some law if they employ you without first checking your legal status. It is to stop people mistreating foreign workers
Well the odd think is that I’m not supposed to write my name on this form and no identifying marks saying it’s me is on there what so ever.
So technically even if I tick the wrong box, they cant prove it was me.
But it’s for a job I’m applying for when I graduate. Thus I wouldn’t be a student when I got the job.
Stupid forms 
Supposed to be voluntary, but the bean-counters are keen to gather stats, so it looks legalistic. Same with stuff like council tax benefit and stuff. If you don’t tick it, the worse they can do is send it back with a red cross against it to be re-done.
Droid is sorta right, because due to some cock-up thousands of illegal immigrants have been issued NI numbers, but as yet there’s been no law to rectify that prob. Yet.

and you still want to work for them ?
Residency in this context means someone who has the right to reside in the UK. A UK nationa, spouse of UK national, member of the European Economic Area, asylum seeker granted temporary leave to remain and work in Britain.

Absolutely moronic and yet somehow unsurprising…the form, not you
