Hello,

I would like to inquire whether a Skilled Worker visa holder (wife) is permitted to work (part-time or as a second job) for her husband's startup company to provide assistance while the business is still in its early stages. If so, would she be eligible for payment, or should it be voluntary?

Is the role she is doing the same as her SOC she is sponsored under. If not then she is unable to work for your company.

Yes, she will be doing the same work as the one she’s sponsored on.

Similar work does not really answer the question - it is absolute - her SOC in her current role must match the activity. What is her current role?

She's a project coordinator and will do the same for the company.

What is the SOC and what did the CoS say re job title/role etc?
Char (CR001 not Casa)
