SOC Code and Salary

Post by shady87 » Fri May 23, 2014 2:29 am

Hi All,

I applied for my T2G Visa under SOC Code 2132.
This has now been split into 3 other SOC Codes (2135, 2136 and 2139).

I'm will soon be extending my T2G VISA.

I will be applying under SOC Code 2139.

Based on this document;
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 4_V0_6.pdf

Questions:
1 - Are the salary allocations based on 39hr working week?
2 - If yes, Experienced Salary for SOC Code 2139 is £27,000, how can I calculate this to show 37.5hrs
3 - My previous CoS specified 37.5hrs. Is my employer allowed to specify 37.5hrs in the new CoS and use the salary calculation from question 2?

Thanks :)

1. yes
2. for a 37.5 hour working week the min. salary is: £27,000 x 37.5/39 = £25,962
3. the hours in the new CoS needn't be the same as in the previous CoS

Hi Manci,

Please can you reply for my query which is addressed to you in post 'salary sufficient for ILR' . It can be searched under my name.

Thanks , Manoj
