I would question why your employer suggested you'd be losing 25% of your wages. Sounds dodgy to me

He probably just hasn't done the calculation properly. 20 hours at £6.36 means gross £127.20 per week, that is below the NI Primary Threshold so no NI is payable, which would mean only tax being deducted. If the personal allowance is fully allocated to the first job that means 20% of the gross wage or £25.44 tax per week.
