Hi, How about a 32.5 hours a week? Is there a required minimum working hours?manci wrote:the new entrant min. salary for a 39 hour week under SOC code 2135 is actually £24,900, not £24,000.
For a 37.5 hour week the minimum would be 37.5/39.0 x £24,900 = £23, 943. Your £25k salary is well above the threshold. There is no problem with working a 37.5 hour week.
I ask because I face a similar issue. My visa was refused as it didnt meet the required minimum for the Job type.
According to: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... illed-work
Under: Appropriate salary rates
"Where the applicant has contracted weekly hours or is paid an hourly rate, the rates must be pro-rated accordingly."
So as a work around, we are looking to cutting down my total weekly hours to 32.5 hours from 37.5 (i.e one hour less each day)
since the required minimum for Experienced Workers in my case is £31,100 for a 39 hours/week Job, 32.5 hours/week will be £25,916 for which £27,000 is well over that.
What do you think? Will this work?
Thanks.
