Many migrants, especially in health care, cannot get enough hours from their main employer because companies often lack sufficient contracts. This can leave families struggling. Increasing the secondary limit to 40 hours could help workers stay stable, reduce staff shortages, and allow more tax contributions, reducing reliance on agency staff and supporting the UK economy.
