I am on a work permit working in a Hotel,two years ago when I was employed I was on supervisory level ,recently I have been transferred within the same company to a different location and promoted as well to managerial level my questions are as follows -
1. Do I need to do any thing in respect of my work permit because my original work permit was for supervisory level and now I am on managerial level and secondly my salary has increased by 5000 pounds.
2. Secondly my concern is that I have read in different posts about salary levels as my salary is still quiet low under 20 k as it is quiet common in the industry would it any how effect my chances of getting ILR
Thanks in advance for your advices..

It does seem a bit low for ILR etc but your best bet is to ring a few solicitors as well. The initial assessment from most of these is quite affordable and you will get professional advice.

I would imagine eyebrows would be raised for a salary under 20K for any job at managerial level - if it is so represented. It may be in your interest to seek advice.

My only advice would be to ensure you are not being taken advantage of by your company. The salary level you indicate( less than 20K AFTER a 5K increase) at managerial level would indicate you are not be paid fairly. This is likely to cause other problems - work permits being the least of them.

I would imagine that if the notification has to be made it would have to be made by the employer rather than the individual. Anyway, I am not an expert on this - maybe someone else can comment.
