Dear All,
I have a question that I'm sure you have all dealt with before but I can't seem to find the answer.
I obtained my original Tier 2 General after 6th April 2011 (October 2011 to be exact). I am applying for a Tier 2 extension in a few months and I have noticed that one of the requirements for a Tier 2 General extension is that my salary conforms with the "Codes of Practice for Skilled Workers" document. In the SOC code that applies to my job, it mentions that my minimum pay must be £29,900 under the assumption of 39 hours a week.
The problem is that I earn £29,500 but my contracted hours are 38 hours a week.
My questions are:
1. When I apply for the Tier 2 General extension will the UKVI pro-rate my salary up to 39 hours a week? If they do then my pro-rated pay is then £30,276 which is sufficient.
2. Or will they pro-rate their requirements down to 38 hours a week. If they do then their pro-rated requirement will be £29,133.
3. Or will they do neither and just use my salary as it currently stands?
Please let me know your thoughts as I am getting very anxious. Many thanks for your help.
