I am currently working in a role which pays me £26000 per annum and I am currently on PSW (Graduate visa) which is valid until end of Jan 2025. My current role doesn't fall under the sponsored role.
I am successful in getting a secondment role within the same company. This secondment role pays £39000 and also falls under the sponsorship jobs code list. This secondment role is for 12 months.
My HR has told that because its a secondment role there is a complication which is as follows: My base salary would still be £26000 and I would receive £13000 as HQ allowance (could be Headquarter Allowance). In this case, HR said that, because any type of allowance cannot be considered as base pay and hence I don't meet the salary threshold, and hence I cannot be sponsored in a secondment role.
However, my question is, why do they have to add it as an allowance. I am completely going to be working in this secondment role for 12 months and the job offer says £39000 and I am getting taxed for the entire £39000. Then why is there going to be an issue in getting me work visa sponsored.
If this is really an issue, can you please advise on what else could be done in this situation so that I get sponsored?
