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