Pay for Tier 2

Post by natalisain » Mon Sep 08, 2014 11:17 am

Hi

Can an employer pay more than what was given in the COS?

Thanks
Regards
Natalie

No. The pay has to be between the range that was published. If the employer wants to increase the pay, they need to conduct the RLMT again with the new payscale.

Thank you.

Can it be more than what given on COS and within the range of what published for RLMT?

thanks

Quoting below the text from Sponsors Guidance, para 29.42.(b) -->

We accept that there may occasionally be circumstances in which some of the details
you enter on a successful restricted CoS application may have changed by the time the CoS is
allocated to you, or you come to assign it. Although you cannot amend the pre-populated fields
when assigning the CoS, you can add a sponsor note to let us know of the following changes:

b) Salary increase – where the salary package that you will pay to the migrant is higher than
the amount you stated on the application, this is only allowed if the higher rate is still within
the salary range quoted in the job advertisement. For example if the job was advertised with a
salary range of £25,000-£28,000, your CoS application stated £26,000 and the package you
eventually agree with the migrant is £26,750.

If you are asking the question can you get a pay rise once you are in the role the answer is yes.
