Right to work

Know exactly what you may do, how many hours, and how to prove it.

The decision here

Do you know your hour limit and can you evidence it to an employer?

What to know before you act

  • Student and dependant conditions differ; term-time hour limits are enforced on you, not just the employer.
  • Employers must check a share code — giving them one is normal and safe.
  • Working beyond your conditions can affect future applications, so never guess.

Do this

  • Understand your right to work conditions

    Know exactly what work you are allowed to do, and how many hours.

If you get stuck

An employer says your share code does not work

Usually because: Wrong code type or an expired code — codes lapse after a set period.

Do this instead: Generate a fresh code for the 'prove your right to work' purpose and resend the same day.
