4. Communicating with Employers
- Professional Communication: Always maintain a professional tone when communicating with employers. This includes your emails, messages, and phone conversations. Employers may ask for interviews or additional information before hiring you.
- Clear Expectations: Ensure you have a clear understanding of job expectations, including payment terms, working hours, deadlines, and project deliverables before accepting any offer. This can be agreed upon in writing through a formal contract if required.
- Keep Records: Keep a record of all communication, agreements, and transactions with employers. This can help resolve any disputes and ensure that both parties are on the same page.
5. Legal Considerations
- Work Hours and Legal Age: Students aged 14 to 18 are legally permitted to work but are subject to restrictions on working hours. You should not exceed 4 hours of work per day during school terms and ensure that your job does not interfere with your studies.
- Taxation: Any income you earn from jobs or freelance work is subject to Indian tax laws. If your earnings exceed the taxable income threshold (₹2.5 lakhs per year for individuals under 60), you must file an income tax return (ITR) and pay taxes accordingly.
- Compliance with Laws: Always ensure that the jobs or freelance projects you take up are legal and ethical. Do not engage in fraudulent activities, scam work, or violate any applicable laws. Additionally, avoid jobs that might compromise your academic performance or health.
6. Work-Life Balance
- Prioritize Education: As a student, your primary focus should be on your education. Part-time jobs or freelance work should not interfere with your studies or academic performance. Use time management tools or apps to balance work and study effectively.
- Healthy Working Hours: If you are working part-time or freelancing, ensure that your work hours are manageable. Excessive work hours can lead to burnout and negatively affect your studies. The law also restricts the number of hours students can work, so always keep track of your working time.
7. Payment and Earnings
- Secure Payment Methods: Jobsavailable.in does not process payments directly. Employers will pay you directly for the work completed. Ensure that the payment method (bank transfer, PayPal, etc.) is secure and agreed upon in advance.
- Payment Terms: Always discuss payment terms before accepting a job. Clarify the payment amount, method, and schedule with the employer. Most employers will require invoicing for freelance jobs or contracts.
- Income Tax Declaration: If your earnings exceed the annual taxable limit, you must report your income to the Income Tax Department and pay taxes accordingly.
