Hi there,
Can anyone advice me on the possible impacts of beaching the additional paid work rules on the current visa status and future visa application?
I worked on an additional job for a few weeks (a few hours per week) before signing the contract (paperwork delayed, quite common in academia). This is a big mistake as later the HR found out that we couldn't sign the contract, because the additional job and my full time job have different occupation code (and with different employers). The employer of this additional job reported their mistake to the home office (without disclosing my details) and they felt obliged to pay me for the work I've done regardless of the contract.
My questions are:
1. Should I do the same to report my "mistake" to the home office, or should I just lay low?
2. I know if I accept the payment (around £500), there will be a record of me doing paid additional work which is not allowed. Do you think it's worth contacting UKVI for advice or is it better just to reject the payment?
Any information/advice is appreciated! Thanks a lot!
