Part-time working and sponsorhip

[redaha]

Hi

I have been approached by a some big companies for a couple of part-time roles and we are in the process of scheduling interviews. However, I would like to know if I am able to work part-time working hours on a Toer 2 general visa or not. Can My employer sponsor me and if so how will this work?

thanks

As far as I am aware you are able to work part time.

However, the minimum salary is still the same - £20,300 or as in the code of practice, whichever is the higher.

If you can get £20,300+ for part time hours, then you should be fine.

What visa are you currently on? You didn't make that clear?

If you are making an initial tier 2 (G) application - if you look at the soc codes and the job descriptions first of all there is no mention of part-time work hours - most jobs are full-time (37 hours/week) that is why they have those associated salary scales with them too.

If you are already in uk on a tier 2 (G) - and wish to work for another company - you need to ensure the company also offers you a cos and hires you for that job for those hours - this is called complementary work - if you had tier 2 (G) this documentation comes when you get the visa. If you are in uk with already a tier 2 (G) - I suggest call ukba to clarify this complementary work to be absolutely informed so you can take an informed decision.

I hope I have understood your question and not just talking nonsense.
