Allow Sponsored workers to work for 24hrs per week in a second job

Petition Details

We want the Government to increase the permitted work hours of Sponsored workers from 20hrs to 24hrs per week, in a second job.

Additional Information

Advocates for amending current regulations to allow sponsored workers in the UK to work 24 hours per week instead of the current limit of 20 hours, in a second job, think that this would create a win-win scenario for both the workers and the UK economy. We think this could enhance the employment landscape and help foster positive community contributions.

**Key Reasons That We Think Increasing Work Hours Could Help**

**Improved Economic Contribution**:

**Enhanced Integration into the Workforce**:

**Addressing Labour Shortages**:

**Support for Flexibility and Well-being**:

**Increased Tax Revenue**

**Increased Productivity**

**Higher Earnings for Workers**

**Enhanced Business Revenues**

**Contribution to Tax Revenue**

**Economic Multiplier effect**
