Yes - there are checkpoints on entering Sharm. Egyptians do not need work authorisation to enter Sharm, but can be questioned about why they are going. This doesn't usually happen if flying in, it sometimes happens if driving a private car but you can almost guarantee the Egyptians traveling by bus will get questioned.

They will be asked where they work and asked to show work ID, and heavily questioned if they are traveling alone without work permission. I think the police have the right to send them back or refuse entry if they cannot show this even if they have their ID and other paperwork in order.
