Tier 1 PSW to Tier 2 general

Post by silverocks » Fri Aug 04, 2017 10:21 am

Hi All,

Could you please confirm me few doubts.

Scenario: Employed by the company during PSW holder then company issued UCOS to switch to tier 2G and employee gets the tier 2G for 3 years. Now extension held because of complex issues, if HO wants the generic further info which most of the people mentioned they get few queries sent to companies to prove the vacancy:

1. Does the company needs to prove the RLMT for this PSW employee?
2. Does the company needs to provide details of interview notes with the original advertisement and with the details who else applied for that position etc?
3. If a company hires a PSW holder that's a benefit for the company to save money and time on RLMT, advertisement etc, isn't it?


Any other thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks

when u first switched from psw to tier 2, the company did not need to do rlmt.
now at the extension, if your soc code is same as before, no rlmt is required.

Application hold can be regarding something else as well.

while on PSW, a company could hire without RLMT as it was not a requirement for PSW to Tier 2. That means, they don't have to advertise the role and keep any record of interview. Although every company should keep records of their recruitment irrespective of RLMT.

If your extension in being delays, it might be because of something else.
