Salary increase for Workpermit holder

Hi All,
I am working as a Network Support Engineer in a Secondary School. I am with a five years workpermit and after reviewing my performance School increased around £3,500 of my salary from this month (Sep’09). I am not quite sure whether my employer need inform UKBA about this. I started doing some research and found this link in UKBA site.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... employment

Where said if significant (in my case is around £3,500) change of salary, employer need to re-apply WP for me under tier 2. My employer does not know about this yet. What should I do now, inform them or keep it quite? Because, they had a bad experience with my Work permit application. They had to apply it three times to get it approved. Will it affect my settlement application after five years if we do not inform UKBA about this now.

Thanks in advance

based on the linked file you have attached, and as mentioned in p2 of the document, is this pay rise significantly higher than the usual annual merit increase? If the answer is no then not a problem.

Thanks Mark.
How do I actually measure it is not a significant change. This £3500 increase is not the part of public sector employee 5% pay rise.

So it is not a part of the usual annual merit increase? performance bonus perhaps which means a one off payment.

Another angle to look at is it a means of putting your pay in accordance with a set of pre-defined equivalent companies within your sector. It does mean that the company is looking at ways of keeping its employees within its fold and not risking anyone jumping ship and joining another company just merely of an extra dosh...

Does the £3.5k more than 5% of your annual pay?
