Petition Allow Skilled Worker visa holders to work up to 40 hours in secondary employment
Allow all Skilled Worker and Health Care visa holders to legally work up to 40 hours per week in secondary employment. This will support essential sectors, reduce staff shortages, and increase tax revenue for the UK
More details
Many migrants, especially in health care, cannot get enough hours from their main employer because companies often lack sufficient contracts. This can leave families struggling. Increasing the secondary limit to 40 hours could help workers stay stable, reduce staff shortages, and allow more tax contributions, reducing reliance on agency staff and supporting the UK economy.
