WP to ILR - Salary requirement

[ILR 2013]

Hello All,

I am on work permit since 2008 sept, will be eligible to apply for ILR this sept. But, my salary is less than as shown in new COP. Any advice? also I am bit confused about below paragraph in statement of intent.

"Only those who entered Tier 2 (or the work permit arrangements) before 6 April 2011 may be paid below these thresholds, when they apply to extend their stay, change employment, or settle in the UK. However, in most of these cases, the “experienced worker” rate will apply; the “new entrant”
rate will only be relevant to those applicants who have been in Tier 2 and/or the work permit arrangements for less than 3 years and 1 month in total when they make their next application."

Is this new salary applies to WP holder?

The title is something obvious. I believe that is also mentioned in your WP?
I was thinking if the job title is not exact match your employer can choose a SOC code with your nearest job responsibly which fulfil the salary requirements.
Another option could be ask employer to do a pay rise for one month before your ILR application as you need to show only one pay slip by the rule.

Thanks, I think asking employer for a increase is the only option
