Don't not earn enough to pay NI contributions.

Options
Hi,
I'm considering taking a part time job earning £164.20 a week for 20 hours work, which i believe means that no national insurance would be taken of the wages.
I only want short hours due to a major upheaval.
I want to keep paying NI for the state pension. Do i need to make voluntary payments or do i get credited with NI?
Can someone explain please.

    Anyone employed earning between £118 and £166 a week gets creditted with Class 1 NI even though they don't pay any. So you won;t need to make any payments.
