We dont have any salary criteria when we got work permit.
And also i dont know from how many days we need to show this salary.
Yes, we don't have salary criteria but when our employer applied WP for us there is a stated salary or expected salary on your document, it's worth finding out.
As for how many days, let me quote the "statement of change":
his employer certifies that he is paid at or above...
So I would say unless there is further guidance, since we need to show 3 month payslip, 3 month would be my answer. But even if you get a pay raise at the last week before your application for ILR, it's still within the rule. Otherwise the rule would have to say:
his employer certifies that he has been paid at or above...... for *%$# month
After all WP was not originally meant to be for skilled or highly skilled people, anyone who has a job offer that couldn't find a suitable local applicant can have WP.
Now here is another dilemma for the gov't, say someone on 5 year WP applies for ILR and got rejected because of the salary, he then can turn around and take the employer to employment tribunal for not getting paid a
UK appropriate rate and win the case, get all the back dated salary, and can apply again for ILR with enough salary. How's this for a strategy.
