Online Application - Why there is no Super Priority Service Option ?

I am completing an online application and it is only showing me one option to submit the application, the standard processing. A week or so ago I was able to see the 'Super Priority' option as well. Any ideas if I have clicked some option that has removed it or an issue with the system? Screen Shot ...

Re: Queries on allowed extra work for 20hrs per week on Tier-2 CoS.

So he would be taking 'holiday' time off at his main sponsor??? If that is the case, then no, he cannot work for a secondary employer while on holiday from his main job.

Re: Queries on allowed extra work for 20hrs per week on Tier-2 CoS.

and logic was that "its time off work so whatever I do in the week is my choice" It isn't really though is it. Agreed, specially since you highlight that annual leave is paid. and the payslip will be issued for a month so no mentioning of 40hrs will mean at best they are considered averaged over 4 ...

Re: Queries on allowed extra work for 20hrs per week on Tier-2 CoS.

Secondary employment is strictly 20 hours per week. Normal working ours are as calculated in the link you have provided. HO based the annual salary calcs in the SOC list on 39 hours per week and then if your hours are less or more up to 48 per week fixed hours, salary is pro rated. Thanks again CR0...

Re: Queries on allowed extra work for 20hrs per week on Tier-2 CoS.

Note that the 20 hour per week restriction is relevant to secondary employment and not your main tier 2 sponsor employment and these hours for another employer needs to be outside your main sponsor employment hours. You cannot even do secondary work if on annual leave as you are on annual leave fro...

Queries on allowed extra work for 20hrs per week on Tier-2 CoS.

1. How is it decided if the hours are 20 or more per week? Gov.uk suggests an average over 17 weeks does the same or similar averaging applies to Tier-2 extra work allowance?

Re: working 20 hours extra

There is no provisioning of that information on the SMS online form, so who decides if the extra work is within or outside of normal working hours? Specially for jobs where you might have day or night shifts, what will be...
