I am in the UK on a Tier 2 general under a Web developer SOC code working full time. I was offered an additional short term part time work that is under 20 hours per week (as a casual freelancer) and is also Web development. Thus it is 'at the same professional level as the work for which my Certificate of Sponsorship was assigned' (i.e. also Web development)
My question is about the the working hours covered by my Certificate of Sponsorship. Normally I work 9-5 Monday to Friday. But, I am taking a few days vacation this month for my sponsoring employer, and during those days I want to do casual freelance work for another company. It will never be more than 16 hours/week at the company, on days when I already booked vacation time from my employer, and it is a short term project.
Does this arrangement count as being 'outside of the normal working hours for which my Certificate of Sponsorship was assigned'?
Basically, can I do a few days of freelance work when I am on vacation from my sponsored job?
