I just realized reading other forums that my salary should be £20,300 during the time of COS allocation. Now I am totally confused ? Should I talk to my employer about increasing my salary the next month itself so that I meet the criteria ? But this paragraph from Tier 2 & 5 sponsor guidance worries me ! That example in the below para is my actual situation. How to approach this situation in the right way.Please someone guide me !
"221. There may be occasions where you have advertised at or above the minimum rate quoted in the relevant code of practice, but the salary quoted in your advertisement is below the minimum threshold for Tier 2 (General). For example, if the minimum rate in the codes of practice is, £18,000 and that is the rate you quote in the job advertisement, but then the successful applicant is a migrant who will need to apply for leave to enter the UK to come and work for you. If such a situation arises, you cannot simply increase the salary to £20,300 to enable the migrant to make a successful application for Tier 2 (General) leave. Instead, you must conduct the resident labour market test again, advertising at the higher salary rate, as there may be settled workers who would apply for the job at that higher rate."
Thanks a loads in advance! I am completely stressed
