The min. salaries given in the codes of practice are based on a 37.5 hour working week. If the min. salary for your SOC code is £12.78 per hour then your annual salary must be min £24,921

Thanks for ur reply.

I will try to explain this to HR.

My HR suggested that as the soc specifies hourly rate , you have to take the
Hourly rate in consideration . Doesn't matter if it is 35 hr or 40 hrs per week.

Once again thanks for your help

Regards

ask HR to ring the employer helpline (0300 123 4699) to clarify this point as the guidance is not entirely clear.

spoke to my HR, he said that he has been doing this for many years now and it has never been rejected on that basis.

The company contract is 36.5 hrs so you have to proportionate the salary on that basis.

any comments would be appreciated
