Hi shahzaibf8,

No, the 20 hours cannot be averaged over a longer period.

Thank you.

As an international student studying in the UK, I am aware that my part-time working hours are limited to 20 hours per week and 80 hours per month. I have recently completed 76 hours of work this month. If I now take 20 hours of paid holiday, will this exceed my monthly working hours limit and potentially pose a threat to my student visa working restrictions?

Hello, I am working on NHSP and the working day of each week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. Am I wrong to have been scheduling my 20 hrs work time with the NHSP Sunday to Saturday calendar and not Monday to Sunday as some calendars show, as both are different?

Hi gloriaoluwabiyi,
No as you are using your own working week and as long as you stick to the 20hours you are ok.
Thank you.

Hi I’m I have a doubt ,I’m a student with 20 hours work permit I worked 20 hours and got holiday pay 8 hours is that a problem for my psw?

Hi Vishwa,
The holiday pay should be for a week you have not worked and therefore wwill not form part of the 20 hours maximum.
Thank you.

My employer's work week is from Sunday to Saturday. So suppose if I worked for 11 hours on Sunday and 10 hours on Monday, in my payslip the salary will show for 21 hours. My question is, the official week for counting 20 hours/week starts from Monday, so will these 21 hours be a problem for me as a part-time student worker, where actual work hours are only 10 from Monday and if my payslip doesn't show the dates as well? At the moment I was counting my hours only as per the official hours, i.e., Monday to Sunday.

Hello, I have completed my one-year Masters course. The end date mentioned in my CAS is 30th Sep 2024. I'm currently doing an 18-hour temporary job. Can I also take up another 40-hour job(temporary)? I never worked even once for 40 hours during the whole term including the vacation. Could you please let me know if there's anything I should keep in mind while accepting the role? Thank you.

Hi anjali,
You would need to check your VISA to see if you are allowed.
Thank you. 

Hello, I currently have 2 jobs under the same university. Do I need to update anything on HMRC website (because earlier I only had one job when I got my tax code)? A few months back I was offered a full-time job in a school which I accepted and therefore got an account set-up with an agency for payroll. However, I never took up that full-time job. I still have that account active with the paying agency because I sometimes go for cover-shifts as a teaching assistant. When I apply for my graduate visa will this be a problem, as my full-time job was supposed to start in 1 September 2024 (I never started though)? Thank you

Hello, Being an International Student pursuing master's degree and as per the UKVI rules, I can just work for 20 hours per week. As now the vacation is near, so, I would like to know that if I can work for full time as 40 hours per week or as much as I can on that period? Also, as my class ends on 11 December of the running week and according to the term letter of the university, the vacation starts from 16 December. So, can I start working from 12/13 December crossing the 20 hour limitations or not? I hope to get the response on my queries so that there won't be any issue related to my visa status in the upcoming days. Thank You!!
