    If the wages from both jobs combined are under the tax threshold then he won't pay any in either job.

    Have a look at THIS, as he will still be under his personal allowance it seems he can split his code between the 2 employers.

    is the second job going to take him over the young persons working hours?
    The only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 5
  • His apprenticeship is 30 hrs per week and Sunday job is 4 hrs per week so he is under his young persons working hours.
