Supplementary Work - Work Permit Holder

Post by chuba » Fri Mar 05, 2010 11:27 am

Does anyone know what form this supplementary work takes? I am a work permit holder and has been offerred additional work by another company.

On the UKBA website it says;
**************************************************
"Extra jobs
You can do extra work to the job that you have a certificate of sponsorship for if:

-it is in the same profession at the same professional level as the job that your certificate of sponsorship is for;
-the work is no more than 20 hours a week;
-the work is outside the working hours that the certificate of sponsorship is for.
You do not need to tell us about any extra jobs you take, and can do voluntary work in any sector.

You must not be paid or receive other money for the voluntary work, except reasonable expenses as in section 44 of the National Minimum Wage Act. See the OPSI website on the right of this page for more information about the National Minimum Wage Act."
**********************************************************

Someone told me that I cannot do this under a timesheet system even if it meets with the above requirements. I was told that i have to be engaged as a part time employee. Is this true?

Please anyone with similar experience?

If you meet the criteria you can do it, if you don't you can't. Timesheets are totally irrelevant.

Here are the full criteria:

It is fine to work on a Timesheet basis as long as you meet the aforementioned requirements. Just make sure that you pay Tax and NI and the HMRC / Home Office will be happy.
