Casual workers on student visas
Student visa holders have limitations on the number of hours of work that can be legally undertaken while studying in the UK.
As a sponsorship licence holder, the University must keep a complete and accurate record for each worker with a student visa.
Failure to monitor the hours worked, or breaches of any restriction could have serious consequences, including significant civil penalties and risking our ability to sponsor students and staff.
Student visa holders will have time limited working permission allowing them to complete a maximum of 0, 10 or 20 hours of work per week during term time. These restrictions apply to all work, paid or unpaid, and any training.
So that these restrictions are not exceeded, the University must monitor the hours worked by students holding a student visa. This is one reason why all casual work must be booked in advance through Dashboard.
