Salary Increase Work Permit Holder Same Employer&Positio

hsmporwp wrote:if the salary has increased since the approval of the work permit (2003). is it required to inform home office about these changes (in terms of technical changes)?

please bear in mind that the increase was %8 in 3 years time so nothing substantial.

Because with the new salary i fall into another wage category that qualifies me for HSMP... But also i do not want to have trouble because of this increase.

i would appreciate your comments.

thanks

During 18 months my salary increased by 15 % and there was no promotion.

Different job, same employer
A change of employment application is required where there is a substantial change to terms and conditions of the employment for which a work permit has previously been approved. Caseworkers should ensure that a labour market search has been carried out for applications where any of the following circumstances occur except for Tier 1 applications:
• the permit holder’s salary has significantly risen in addition to any annual increments, as a higher salary is likely to attract more applicants when the post is advertised appropriately (if the salary has risen only because of annual increments, it may be appropriate to consider any such application under the technical change of employment category). .............................
Different job, different employer
Normally, caseworkers should expect to see evidence of advertising in support of such an application unless it is in the Tier 1 category. Caseworkers should also pay attention to the level of the new job and whether the person has the required qualifications, experience and skills to do the job in such circumstances (see Skills Criteria (worker) and see Qualifications of the Worker/ Experience of the Worker).

The salary has changed significantly since the original application - Caseworkers should check whether the permit holder’s salary has significantly increased since the initial application. If the salary has risen only because of annual increments it may be appropriate to consider the application as an extension. However, where this is not the case, a higher salary is likely to attract more resident applicants, therefore the employer should be required to advertise the post and thereafter complete a fresh WP1.
