Do you realise that you have breached your visa conditions regardless of your sponsor 'approving' this adhoc work. Whether you highlight it or not, HO do check your HMRC employment record for ILR and for British citizenship and it will clearly show on your record.In addition to my main employment i had worked as a casual worker for Adhoc events for a staffing agency & recruitment company starting from December 2018 and till date i have worked only during weekends/festive seasons and completely outside my working hours of main employer. Starting December 2018 till date i have only worked in about 8 or 9 occasions on basis of tier 2 visa sponsored by main employer (big 4 Accounting firm). I had obtained approvals from main employer for working on casual/Adhoc events. Total amount that i have earned as casual worker is a maximum of £500 inclusive of taxes
As casual worker I have been paid through payroll and taxes have been paid to HMRC appropriately. I am quite stressed if this would impact my ILR application. I was not aware about supplementary job conditions as stated in gov.uk and i have immediately stopped all casual work and closed account with staffing & recruitment agency on 11 November 2019. I would be grateful if you can advise if i should highlight this fact in my ILR application about my casual working and whether this could lead to refusal. If not i would be grateful if you can please guide me.
Taking a second job
You can take a second job on this visa if you’re working up to 20 hours a week in either:
the same profession as your main job and at the same level
a profession on the shortage occupation list
You can also do unpaid voluntary work.
Otherwise, you’ll need to apply for a new visa. You’ll need to be sponsored by your second employer and get a new certificate of sponsorship.
It is not up to you to decide if there was a breach. UKVI will look at this and decide if there was a breach. What you have done is breach of the conditions of your stay as per ruleskrunalbhatt27 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 8:57 pmApologies i missed to mention that i have never breached the condition of working more than 20 hours a week. Whenever i have worked in have only worked 1 day during the weekend or outside main office working hours on Fridays. The area i breached is that SOC codes are different and neither is the casual work appearing in shortage list. Would be grateful if you can guide me the way forward as i would definitely not want to leave UK due to this mistake
HMRC does however list employers, all employers and payment history. My daughter works for two event companies and each pay is clearly detailed under each employer with her relevant split tax codes and NI numbers. An events company will clearly indicate that it is not a highly skilled second job that a tier 2 migrant is permitted to do while holding a tier 2 general visa.talreh20 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 11:11 amAs far as I know, HMRC does not see what job you did. So HMRC is not aware of your job title. So if HMRC doesn't have this information, Home office won't have that either.
So I would have applied and risked it if I was in your shoes as if you are in breech of the conditions you won't get it anyway. If you get lucky, you'll get it.
Call the HMRC now and request freely your employment history then you will see your all past & present jobs, earnings and employer name same as CR001 has said. Until few years back there used to be agencies who deliciously employ students/those awaiting visa outcomes and don't pay their correct taxes or not show them at all but eventually all these were/are getting cracked down.
