Core and Flexible???

Bonus would not be included.

In your stated circumstance, likely only the basic salary will be considered.

Salary information on a certificate of sponsorship – all Tier
2 categories
26.14 When you assign a CoS to a migrant, you must give 3 pieces of information
about the salary package:
• the gross salary figure which must represent the total amount paid to the
worker, gross of any tax paid whether paid in the UK or overseas, and must
include any permitted allowances and guaranteed bonuses
• a separate figure for the total of all allowances and guaranteed bonuses
Page 111 of 202 Tiers 2 and 5: guidance for sponsors - version 04/18
• a detailed breakdown of each allowance and each guaranteed bonus
showing their value
26.17 The salary package on the CoS may also include any:
• guaranteed allowances such as London weighting or accommodation,
which will be paid for the duration of the applicant’s employment in the UK
These allowances may only be included if they would also be paid to a settled
worker. There is one exception to this; you may also pay Tier 2 (ICT) migrants
allowances to cover the additional cost of living in the UK and mobility
premiums paid as a percentage of base pay.
26.18 The salary package on the CoS must not include:
• bonus or incentive pay which is not guaranteed
• employer pension contributions
• other payments which cannot be guaranteed
• overtime pay, whether or not overtime is guaranteed
• allowances to cover business expenses including (but not limited to)
training, hotels and business travel within the UK, or travel to and from the
migrant’s country of residence or home country
• one-off payments, such as those associated with the cost of relocation,
which do not form part of the migrant’s regular salary package
• any payments or allowances (whether monetary or in-kind) for which the
migrant must reimburse the sponsor
• the value of any shares which the migrant receives when offered a job
under an employee shareholder employment contract
• perks such as medical benefits or tuition fees

I certainly hope getting 55 points on the first day is good. Last month we had the approval of 60 on the first day and that ended up being the cutoff....
With the doctors/nurses being pulled out I would be shocked and saddened if it was a 55 point cutoff this month.

Please update if any doctor gets cos approval as well.
Is there any forum for doctors and nurses separately since they have been pulled out from restricted cos ?

There's no cap so my understanding is you will be approved unless your application is invalid.

I just got word that mine was approved!

I don't know how many points I have. 40k base, plus 19k in allowances (some people said the allowances didn't count toward points, so either they count, or 40k is going through this month).

Best of luck to you all 8) :mrgreen: :P
