Yes you do. Every time you provide these items asa proof of identity for banks, etc. a copy is taken. There are specific guidleines (and reasons) for copying passports on the UKPA webiste.
you might, but i don't, and this has never been a problem anywhere for me with any bank or organisation. As far as i am concerned my passport, driving license, NHS card are all MY personal details, NOTHING to do with anyone else , although i know that i have to present them to any necessary authorities, i don't feel those authorities have the right to or need to photocopy them. as far as i am concerned , an employer is NOT an authority at the level of a Governmental dept or police , so they don't have the right to photocopy them. see the license, yes, but not copy it.

Perhaps it would be more understandable if expressed as man/days. If it would take 1 person 110 days, then it would take 10 people 11 days, but this is still 110 man/days that the employer would need to pay for checking licences
i took the comment as read in the quote below and assumed it represented 110 actual working days, regardless of the amount of people actually doing the checking. the opinion is that by doing the checking the way i suggested would cut down on this amount of time
