The salary bands above are before tax (gross) and yearly. The salary bands also include allowances if they are part of your guaranteed salary package. The salary must be paid in the United Kingdom. Salary comprises basic pay plus any allowances such as London weighting which would also be paid to a work from within the resident labour force in similar circumstances. It does not include other benefits such as overtime, bonus or incentive pay, travel and subsistence (including travel to and from the source country). If you will be working in the United Kingdom for less than 12 months you should claim the appropriate points for your projected annual earnings. If you will be working part time you will not be able to project your earnings to full time hours and will only be able to claim points for your actual earnings.

We will only award points for contractual hours up to a maximum of 48 hour working week, even if you will be working more than 48 hours per week. You should ask your sponsor to confirm that the salary details are entered on your Certificate of Sponsorship.
