Working Hours Requirement

Post by dr_fish13 » Thu Oct 20, 2011 4:38 am

Hi
I am with PSW and would like to switch to tier 2 in April 2012. Currently, I am working 30 hours/week with pro-rated salary. According to my employer, after 3 months but before I apply, the working hours will be 37.5 hours/week and the salary will be above the HO requirement.

1. Do I qualify for Tier 2 by working 30 hours/w for few months and 37.5/w few months in the required 6 months employment for PSW?

2. Does it matter if I earn less now as long as I earn more than the HO requirement before I apply?

Thanks in advance

yes, that should be fine, it doesnt matter what you earn now BEFORE you apply for Tier 2, but once you get the visa u MUST earn what's required of you.
Hope that helps.

1. I think the last 6 months payslips is to prove that you're working for the company for the x amount of months. However I believe this has to be a full time role. Not sure your 30 Hrs a week qualify for this ? Wait for an expert advise.

2. No as long as you work full time hrs (37.5 a week) and earn the required amount according to your job title as seen on SOC you're fine.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on :)

Seniors,

Sorry that I am aking for help again and again. I was thinking that I was in right direction. But this confusion regarding my eligibility for PSW to Tier 2 by working 30 hours/week is making me worried. :?

Any advice will be highly appreciated
