Qu'entend-on par salaire minimum requis ?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The minimum salary<\/a> requirement is a mandatory requirement for migrant workers applying for and obtaining skilled worker<\/a> visas in the UK. All prospective and current migrant workers, sponsored under the skilled worker route by a UK sponsor, must meet this requirement. The minimum salary for a specific job va<\/a> vary depending on whether the individual<\/a> is a new or continuing skilled worker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quel est le salaire minimum pour les futurs travailleurs qualifi\u00e9s ? <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of 4 April<\/a> 2024, a new minimum salary for skilled workers has come into effect. The minimum salary is now set at the higher of \u00a338,700 or the going rate for the individual\u2019s specific job. Every<\/a> job that can be sponsored will fit into an eligible UK Government<\/a> Standard<\/a> Occupational Classification (SOC) Code and each SOC Code has its own going rate and minimum salary. Most of these minimum salaries are based on a 37.5-hour working week. The going rates for most eligible SOC Codes can be found ici<\/a>. Par exemple, si une personne s'est vue proposer un poste de travailleur qualifi\u00e9 au Royaume-Uni en tant qu'ing\u00e9nieur logiciel, son emploi rel\u00e8vera probablement du code SOC 2134 \"Programmeurs et professionnels du d\u00e9veloppement de logiciels\" et son salaire minimum sera de 49 400 GBP sur la base d'une semaine de 37,5 heures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est important de noter que de nombreux emplois dans les secteurs de la sant\u00e9 et de l'\u00e9ducation sont soumis \u00e0 des r\u00e8gles diff\u00e9rentes et sont r\u00e9pertori\u00e9s s\u00e9par\u00e9ment. Par exemple, dans ces secteurs, le salaire doit correspondre au plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 des deux montants suivants : 23 200 livres sterling ou le taux en vigueur pour le code SOC correspondant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If an individual is already in the UK on a skilled worker visa, their salary does not need to increase provided it met the minimum salary requirement before 4 April 2024. This also applies for migrants who have completed 5 years of continuous residence in the UK as skilled workers (including those who previously held Tier 2 General visas) and are applying for Indefinite Leave<\/a> to Remain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If an individual is making a change of employment<\/a> application to work for a different employer or for the same employer but within a different SOC Code, he or she may not need to meet the new salary requirement. This would be the case if both of the following apply:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. He or she obtained their certificate of sponsorship<\/a> for their\u00a0Tier 2 or Skilled Worker visa before 4 April 2024, and;\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. il ou elle est rest\u00e9(e) titulaire de son visa de travailleur qualifi\u00e9 depuis lors.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Quand les employeurs peuvent-ils payer moins les travailleurs qualifi\u00e9s ?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Employers can pay new entrants to the labour<\/a> market less than the minimum salary. New entrants are those under 26 years old, students on a student visa<\/a>, graduates on a graduate<\/a> visa, individuals in professional training, those with a specific PhD relevant to their job, or postdoctoral researchers in science or higher education<\/a>. For instance, a trainee<\/a> accountant studying for an ACCA qualification could be classified as a new entrant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A new entrant can be paid<\/a> between 70% and 90% of the going rate for their SOC Code, provided the amount is not less than \u00a330,960. For example, a Software Engineer under SOC Code 2134 could be paid a minimum new entrant salary of \u00a334,580 per annum for a 37.5-hour working week. If the individual works more than 37.5 hours per week, their salary needs to be higher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Visas familiaux et revenu minimum requis<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If you are applying for certain family visas<\/a>, such as those for joining a British or settled spouse, civil<\/a> partner, or unmarried<\/a> partner in the UK, there is a strict minimum income requirement. On 11 April 2024 this minimum income requirement was increased to \u00a329,000 by the UK Government as part of a 5-point plan to reduce net migration. This change was implemented to gradually bring the minimum income requirement for family visas in line with the minimum salary requirement for skilled worker visas. This requirement means that if an individual is applying to join his\/her partner in the UK he\/she must demonstrate that the partner i.e. the sponsor has a gross income of \u00a329,000 per annum from salaried employment. This requirement also applies when switching to a partner visa from a different visa type within the UK, although in this case, both the applicant’s and sponsor’s incomes can be combined to meet the requirement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The situation changes slightly when using employment from other sources such as savings, self-employment and income from propri\u00e9t\u00e9<\/a>. The amount of savings a couple must have is directly linked to the minimum income requirement therefore this has also increased significantly \u2013 if a couple is relying on savings alone, they must have combined savings of \u00a388,500. It is possible to amalgamate both salaried income and savings to meet the minimum income requirement. Those already on partner visas or applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years of continuous residence in the UK as a partner will be unaffected by this change. Some family visas such as those used for parents<\/a> applying to stay in the UK on basis of their British or settled child have a different financial requirement which is called the adequate maintenance requirement. This is generally less onerous. It is important to seek legal advice at the time of applying to benefit from an expert opinion and maximise the chances of success<\/a> in an application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Changements attendus dans un avenir proche<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Avant les \u00e9lections g\u00e9n\u00e9rales de juillet 2024, le gouvernement britannique a annonc\u00e9 son intention de porter le revenu minimum requis \u00e0 34 500 livres sterling, puis \u00e0 38 700 livres sterling \u00e0 la fin de 2024 et au d\u00e9but de 2025, respectivement. Cependant, avec le r\u00e9cent changement de gouvernement en faveur des travaillistes, il n'est pas certain que ces changements soient mis en \u0153uvre. Les demandeurs doivent surveiller la situation et envisager de soumettre leur demande rapidement s'ils sont susceptibles d'\u00eatre affect\u00e9s par les changements potentiels \u00e0 venir et s'ils sont pr\u00eats \u00e0 d\u00e9poser leur demande d\u00e8s maintenant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
