im nvq so i can work 40 hours because others work more than 40 hours.

That means 20 hrs legal + 20 hrs cash on hand(illegal)
The choice is yours, take the risk or stay legally.
But be very very careful!

Would you like to report, or do you mean hypothetical?

Generally, the inland revenue have skilled investigators whose job it is to sniff out this stuff.

If you want to report them, call HM revenue and customs and complain, they'll take it from there . . . I think

something like that.

I'm no accountant, so don't quote me!

If someone is being employed illegally (ie not as per the terms of their visa) the BIA provide an email addresses you can email the details to.

I know how to report to HM Revenue.
How about overstayer?
I need to google it.

So you're an engineer?

I dont think students should be allowed to work at all, if they can not afford to study here then they should not come... UK and European students have more of a right to work in term time and if these jobs are taken by overseas students it is not fair......... Times are hard now and it has to be jobs for UK passport holder first,, then EU passport holders.....I think there should be a major overhaul of what students can do... Most of the problems come from pakistan, and the amount of fake schools in the UK has grown..... If they are told that they can not work under any circumstances, and have to have at least 10k in there bank accounts... the work will be available for UK students, its hard enough for them, they have to pay back loans etc....and the foreign students go home, and never pay back the loan,s its a completly unfair playing field

The new system requires you to have somewhere in the region of 10K in your account for 30 days prior to applying, but the there is no real checks to see if you can actually afford to spend that money or if it is just borrowed. Upping the amount may reduce the number applying, but not stop the problem.

Stopping international students working totally would just make it more likely for some students to work illegally.
