Question about WSNP: how many hours do you work with a baby?

Questioner

Good afternoon, if the WSNP is hanging over your head, how many hours do you have to work per week if you also have to take care of a 7-month-old baby?

Lawyer

If you enter the WSNP, you are expected to generate as much income as possible yourself. If you do not do this, the process may be jeopardized. If you cannot meet this obligation, you must provide proof that you are unable to work. My advice is to cooperate with the process as best you can at all times, this increases the chance of a successful outcome.

Questioner

Thank you for your answer. I fully understand that you have to commit yourself during that period and that you have to generate as much income as possible. But I still wonder whether you can work fewer hours than the usual 38 hours a week with a baby.

Lawyer

They don't care that you have a child. You are expected to be fully committed and the possibilities for a child to go to daycare are also considered. Unfortunately, these kinds of things are thought up by the government and in some cases I would also like to see things differently. It is therefore best to discuss this with the future administrator. One is easier than the other.
