CoS Allocation - Immigration Salary List Vs. Eligible Occupations

Post by 9elizabeth » Tue May 07, 2024 12:18 pm

Hi,
I am trying to Create and Assign a CoS to one of our staff memeber. The prospective employee is currently on PSW visa which expires this week.
Under SOC Code 4151 Sales Administrator with the offered salary of £31000pa. Please have a look at the image. Image

The error CoS filling page shows the Job Code is not in Immigration Salary List. But the job is on Skilled Worker visa eligible Occupations code.
The job is already on skilled worker visa eligible occupations list Here is the link:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... -and-codes

Here is the link for Immigration Rules Appendix for Skilled Occupations which states the salary: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... ccupations

Can only the employees on Immigration Salary List be sponsored?
Can somebody please suggest me if I am missing something there?

You don't need to select the immigration Skill List tick box as your job code is not in ISL. if your job code is in ISL than only you can select this as far as your code is it is in SKill worker list and you have to put the salary stander rate. if it is saying 31000£ you will be fine you don't need to pay 38700£ for this rule.

If the SOC is not in the ISL and not covered by the care or education sector then the minimum salary threshold of £38,700 has to be met.

So it means if the JOB code is in skilled worker list and not in ISL but on going rate is stating we need to pay 41000£ we can still pay 38700£ as well?
Occupation code Job type Related job titles Standard going rate Lower going rate
1225 £32,500 (£16.67 per hour) £26,700 (£13.69 per hour)
1231 Clinic manager £43,000 (£22.05 per hour) £31,300 (£16.05 per hour)
1232 proprietors Care manager £36,400 (£18.67 per hour) £28,700 (£14.72 per hour)
1233 Early education £30,960 (£15.88 per hour) £23,200 (£11.90 per hour)

So for all the above jobs we need to put 38700£? I think we are fine if we are paying stander rate? if not than can we pay for job code 1231 above less than 43000£ (38700£) as well because its going rate is more than 38700£ ?

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... tion-codes

on this link it is written that

If you qualify for the standard rate, because you got your certificate of sponsorship after 4 April 2024, read the ‘standard rate’ column.

If you qualify for the lower rate, read the ‘lower rate’ column.

You qualify for the lower rate if you:

are applying for a Health and Care Worker Visa in certain occupations
got your certificate of sponsorship for this visa application before 4 April 2024
got your certificate of sponsorship for your first Skilled Worker visa before 4 April 2024 and have continually held one or more Skilled Worker visas since then

So to my understanding if you get your DCOS after 4april 2024 you need to pay going stander rate until unless you qualify for 80% lower rate ?
