Background
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.
