在英国，法律规定每个对于海外学生打工每星期不超过20小时。（放假期间，不超过40小时每周）。强调一点：任何被Home office 发现有打工超时的Case都将100%遣送回国。

工资：

Main (adult) rate for workers aged 22 and over

4.10 GBP per hour (from 1 October 2001)，4.20 GBP per hour (from 1 October 2002)* 

Development rate for workers aged 18-21 inclusive

3.50 GBP per hour (from 1 October 2001)，3.60 GBP per hour (from 1 October 2002)* 

NB:

The development rate can also apply to workers aged 22 and above during their first 6 months in a new job with a new employer and who are receiving accredited training.)

* The Government has agreed in principle that these rates should take effect on 1 October 2002 subject to the continuation of favorable economic conditions.

To check on how the National Minimum Wage applies to you (or your staff), use the TIGER interactive website or telephone the National Minimum Wage Helpline on 0845 6000 678. This is also the number to ring if you think you are being underpaid and wish to make a complaint. You may also email the helpline from the Inland Revenue's NMW website. All complaints about underpayment of the National Minimum Wage are treated in the strictest confidence.

关于以上几点作几点说明：

对于打工的时间：据一封英国报纸的资料，80%以上的外国留学生在英国有打工（并且超时）的现象。
