Work permits are issued for a specific person in a specific job for a specific employer. Work permits are not transferable between employers or between jobs within the same company.
If a person has a work permit and wishes to take additional work they may do so without further permission from the Home Office provided the work:
is outside of their normal working hours;
is no more than 20 hours per week;
is in the same profession and at the same professional level for which the holder's work permit was issued; and
is not employed by a recruitment agency, employment agency or similar business to provide personnel to a client.
The work permit holder is not allowed to enter self-employment, set-up a business or join another business as a director or partner. If a work permit holder wishes to be self-employed or set up a business he/she will need to apply to the Home Office for Leave to Remain for this purpose.
Multiple Entry Work Permit holders are not permitted to take supplementary employment.
Hope this helps. |
