TSS Timesheets

This tool has been created to track the number of hours you are working. The university have a responsibility to monitor the number of hours you work and to ensure you do not breach the maximum number of hours allowed if you have a Student/Tier 4 visa.

International students who hold a Student/Tier 4 student visa to study in the UK are subject to working restrictions imposed by UKVI (UK Visas & Immigration). Your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) card or visa indicates the maximum number of hours you can work. This includes both paid and voluntary work. All students are prohibited from engaging in business and from self-employment, nor are they allowed to provide services as a professional sportsperson or entertainer.

Breaching any of these conditions and taking up work where you do not have the appropriate permission is considered illegal working and will affect your immigration record. Illegal working can result in curtailment of your visa and risk any future visa applications you make. It can also lead to a prison sentence and a fine for you and a civil penalty for your employer.

If you disclose any details to us that lead us to believe that you have broken the conditions of your visa, we will report this to UKVI as it is one of our duties as a Student/Tier 4 visa Sponsor. Please read our Student visa essential information page for further details.
