Pro-rated if the job has contracted weekly hours

Post by tuanvo1982 » Tue Mar 19, 2013 9:03 am

I don't know what is "contracted weekly hour" in this paragraph and don't know how to specify a new COS become a "contracted weekly hour". My salary was paid every month not every week. Could you give me an idea please?

"All of the rates quoted are based on a 39 hour working week unless otherwise specified. If the job has contracted weekly hours or is paid an hourly rate, the rates must be pro-rated accordingly, but otherwise they do not need to be pro-rated."

Thank you

I think we can pro-rate down :) because "contracted weekly hours" means in contract specifies the working hours of a week. I was confused because I think pay weekly :P

I cannot find any paper about the new SOC2010. But about SOC 2010 has a post which a guy email to UKBA and they confirm that already that we can pro-rate down if you are working less than the hours in SOC said. I cannot find that post

I sent question to UKBA and get answer :)

Question : Can we pro-rate down the salary as such : £29,800 (annual salary) based on 39 hours per week is the equal to (£29,800/39 hours)*35 hours = around £26,744 based on 35 hours per week? so could I use "Experienced worker" with £26,744 and 35 hours per week to qualify to extend the employee visa?

ANSWER:
A salary can be pro-rated if the employee will be working less than full-time hours provided the gross salary will still satisfy the minimum salary threshold for Tier.


so... I think it is YES if salary is still higher than minimum threshold (£20300)

I also got answer by email today :)

Dear Vo,

Thank you for your email.

If the 37.5 hours you refer to is in the contact then it falls into “the job has contracted weekly hours” and therefore the salary on the Code of Practice can be calculated pro rata. Please bear in mind that there remains a minimum salary requirement of £20,000pa which must always apply irrespective of the number of hours the person works.

Yours Sincerely,

because from next september our company only working 35 hours per week :) but salary still the same :)

in SOC the salary bases on 39 hours so if you are working 37 hours/ week so the required salary in Soc /39 * your hour (37) = your salary you need

it was very lucky because I used my email so my email went to their spam inbox but they still reply me :). On the title still show "spam"

RE: Spam: Confusing about the job has contracted weekly hours

their email is "Sponsorship PBS enquiries" <sponsorshippbsenquiries@ukba.gsi.gov.uk>

you should use the email registered in Sponsor System then they will reply in 2 working days :)

32,441/39*37=30,778 so you salary need to be above or equal 30.778 per annual

I THOUGHT THIS WOULD HELP OTHERS.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your email.

1. Under SOC Code 2312, “Lecturer or equivalent” is listed as a new entrant role. We define new entrants as:

a. graduates switching from Tier 4 into Tier 2 under our post-study provisions;

b. graduate recruits where the employer has used a university “milkround” to satisfy the Resident Labour Market Test;

c. those sponsored in the Intra-Company Transfer Graduate Trainee route; and

d. anyone aged 25 or under on the date of their initial Tier 2 application

Anyone who does not fall under this category should be paid at the higher rate.

2. This is correct, you should pro rata the salary to reflect the number of hours being worked.


Regards,

Daniel Hartley - Customer Service Advisor

Hi guys,

I'm finding this topic really useful, thanks for posting what's going on with you!

I am in a similar situation.

My SOC requires 22,300 based on 39 hour week. I am contacted to work for 37.5 hours a week. So, pro rata minimum salary based on 37.5 hour week would be 22,300 / 39 * 37.5 = 21,443?

So if my current salary is 22,000, then I am alright?

All of us are asking pretty much the same question, but you want to be 200% sure when it is about something so important :)

I also understand people who say they do their HR's job. We are a small company, and my HR comes and consults me about every single question related to sponsoring me, so it's good to know all answers in advance.

Btw does anyone know if SMS has a separate box to enter 'weekly working hours' when an employer assigns CoS to an employee? Or these details have to be mentioned elsewhere (job description? sponsor notes? anywhere else?)

3. your formula is correct
4. read sponsor guide then you can see more details about sms
