I hold a Tier 2 (General) VISA and currently work for the NHS. I have been offered a permanent position and will therefore have to be paid £30,000 as a minimum salary for a 39 hour work week.
Here are my questions:
(1) The offered position pays only £24,214 based on a 37.5 hour work week. Would it therefore be possible for me to qualify for a Tier 2 (General) Extension if I work 47.5 hours per week. This would increase my total salary to £30,671 and still be within the 48 hour work week cut-off.
(2) I have also been offered another position that pays £29,056 based on a 37.5 hour work week. Would this case qualify me for an extension considering the equivalent salary for a 39 hour work week would be £30,219.
Thanks very much for your time!
