You'll need to meet two conditions on cat B
1. Your income must be equal or greater than 18600 in the last 12 months.
2. Your employer must confirm your present annual income is equal or greater than 18600.
If your annual income isn't up to 18600 presently,I'm afraid to tell you that the application will be refused.

What he means is that if someone walked into your HR department today and said 'how much does prawin2506 earn?' - they'd answer with a figure above £18,600.

Hello all,
can you plz explain the below statement in plain English as I couldn't able to get through,

For the purpose of paragraph 13(a)(i), in respect of a person in non-salaried
employment at the date of application "the level of gross annual salary relied upon in the application" shall be no greater than the annual equivalent of the person's average gross monthly income from non-salaried employment in the 6 months prior to the date of
application, where that employment was held throughout that period.
many thanks

It means that the amount they will consider you earning - when you are paid per hour without a regular house base (e.g. you don't have a minimum income) - is the average of your income per month over 6 months.

If you are on a salary + commission - then they use the lowest amount of pay in that 6 months.

Because you have a 36 hour contract - your hours don't vary - so you are salaried as far as UKVI are concerned.

Here's their definition:
Non-salaried employment includes that paid at an hourly or other rate (and
the number and/or pattern of hours required to be worked may vary), or paid an amount
which varies according to the work undertaken, whereas salaried employment includes
that paid at a minimum fixed rate (usually annual) and is subject usually to a contractual
minimum number of hours to be worked.

Thank you MPH80 for ur quick n efficient response

I am on 36 hour contract but it's not fixed we do have lot of opportunity for overtime and my salary varies every single month depending on my over time
over a period of six months my gross salary is 9700 which includes 312 pounds in July payslip n 2300 pound November pay .As I am on variable income Will the ECO consider my average gross monthly income or will they take the lowest one
And I am not on commission based salary.

But you have a minimum hours - 36.

The fact you can add overtime still doesn't make you non-salaried.

I don't think he is salaried employee, a salaried employee would not be paid hourly, even though he does have a fixed number of hours. Main difference between salaried and non-salaried employees are that salaried get paid a fixed amount annually whether they work overtime or not. Whereas non-salaried get paid on an hourly rate but can top up there hours and be paid for it.

Your employment letter will show if you are salaried or not - if it states you are paid hourly then you are classed as non-salary
And if it states a fixed amount I.e. £20000 then you are salaried

I'll just repeat UKBA's definition again:
Non-salaried employment includes that paid at an hourly or other rate (and
the number and/or pattern of hours required to be worked may vary), or paid an amount
which varies according to the work undertaken, whereas salaried employment includes
that paid at a minimum fixed rate (usually annual) and is subject usually to a contractual
minimum number of hours to be worked.
He has a minimum pay rate and a minimum number of hours - overtime on top of that - like commission - doesn't change the fact he's salaried.

May be the OP should clarify if he's paid hourly, if he's paid hourly, then he's non salaried. Non salary employee do have minimum or average hour on their contract too. Since he's not getting fixed salary,that should be non salaried in my opinion.

Totally agree you can't be paid hourly and at the same time be salaried, I have got this confirmed by my HR Department. Also whether you are salaried or non-salaried (unless you are on a zero hour contract) you will be required to work a certain number of hours as stated on the contract. Only difference being that any overtime you work as a salaried would be unpaid, whereas non-salaried would get paid for whatever extra hours they do.

As the ukbA definition States non-salaried is paid hourly

I'm salaried, but if I do any overtime, then I get paid for the number of hours I've worked extra. Does that mean I'm no longer salaried?!

Please can you cut this discourteous attitude. People are only trying to help you , the least you can do is not reply to their message.

Insulting them is just disheartening.

MPH80 is kind of correct. A person does not cease from being a salaried worker because they work over time.

If a person has a fixed contract and fixed basic salary, the fact that they do over time has no bearing on their ability to be considered as a salaried worker.

Whether a person is a salaried or non-salaried worker does not in reality affect their ability to qualify under appendix FM Cat A or B. What matter is what the person has earned in the relevant 6 or 12 months.

Obie, quick question

Recently started work in a warehouse, £7.39 per hour 40hrs per week + 20% night shift allowance from 10pm to 3am + bonus.
Now, just got my 1st Paylsip, and it states that my Annual Salary is £15413.43 and my monthly payment is £1494.74 (TAX included)
without the tax is like £1096.13 - just noticed I am on a wront 0T tax code, so have to report it. but anyway.

This means, I am round £60 less (minimum £1550 per month for 18.600 per year, right?)
HOWEVER, I am confident that with the BONUS I can £1600 or more per month.

now, question is, will I not be able to apply after the 7th month (since my 1st month is kinda low) ??
or maybe if my 2nd payslip is like 1700 per month then MAYBE the extra money can be added to the 1st payment ...
not sure if you understand me, but yeh.

I wonder if I am still eligible to apply on the basis that I get MIN £1550 each month, despite the £15413.43 annual salary ??


Thanks

ps: I am sure the £15413.43 annual figure is calculated based on the wage income and tax.
eg. if I get 1600 each month (by doing overtime + bonus) then surely the annual figure on the payslip should be more .. right ??
