Age specification for Employment

Post by Love1 » Tue May 07, 2019 6:00 pm

Hello Moderators and people,

I am due to apply for my Tier 1 visa extension end November 2019.I have created 2 full time jobs on a minimum wage for the past 6months however one of my staffs stopped work for personal reasons.

I have had to split her role between 2 staffs (still the same role however different shifs).
One of the New staffs employed is well over 30years while the other staff if 16 years old.

My question is:
1) Is it Okay to 30 hours between 2 individuals in this last 6 months as the 30hours role was initially carried out by one staff who left?

2) is there any age restrictions for employees. I am a little worried about the 16years old new staff whose minimum wage is lesser?

3) Am I required to submit separate RTI form for each staffs or can I compress all staffs into 1 form?

Your honest reply will be of great help.

Thanks,

Thanks,
1) Yes. Immigration rules only require full time JOB, not full time employees. So I believe that is ok
2) No
3) What does this even mean ? Your payroll software creates the forms, not you. So how can you choose this ?

@marcnath

Thanks for you reply.

Ques 1: Clear

Ques 2: a bit of doubt as will it be okay for 2 people doing same job to earn differently even though they fall on different minimum wage legally? Really just trying to avoid HO issues.

Ques 3: sorted with accountant this morning.

2. I can't see any issues with that. But what kind of HO issues are you expecting

Is the school kid a weekend or after school type worker?

How many hours are you actually employing them for per week?

In England, a young person must be in part-time education or training until they’re 18.

Be mindful of under 18 employment rules because of the above.

@marcnath: not sure really. Just don't want to be a scape goat as it will be difficult to rectify at last minute.

@Frontier Mole: thanks for your contribution. It is part time 15hrs (5hrs for 3 days). When not in college.

As long as you are following all the employment rules and regulations, that should be ok.

There is nothing in the immigration rules that you would be violating. Of course, if you are interviewed, you may need to explain the difference in skills level for the same job, etc. But as long as it is genuine and there are valid reasons, I can't see a problem.
