Respected members,
This is regarding a job NOT listed in shortage list. My two important questions are:
(1) What is the minimum hour per week that the worker should work? I have seen that for shortage list jobs, it should be at least 30 hours a week.
(2) As per the UKBA guideline, the minimum salary at least £25,000 or the ‘appropriate rate’ for the job (within the relevant SOC) you’re offered - whichever is higher. (https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/eligibility). Does it mean that so long as the salary is at least £25000 AND the worker works at least the minimum hours (say 30 hours a week), it is legally fine?
Does it mean that so long as the salary is at least £25000, the working hours can be reduced to a minimum of 30 hours per week? I am asking this question because the salary requirement in the guideline is just a rate, meaning thereby it does not say that the worker must work 39 or 37.5 hrs (whichever is applicable) to get a fixed salary, say 35,100£ for an experienced level salary.
Any answer or feedback will be highly appreciated. Many thanks!
Regards,
Surj
