Short answer
Skilled Worker supplementary employment enquiries should identify the visa route, certificate of sponsorship, main job hours, second-job duties, occupation code, weekly hours, pay records, sponsor communications, right-to-work checks and any Home Office or employment concern. Legal4U cannot decide whether work is permitted.
