Why the going rate matters

A Skilled Worker job must usually meet the relevant salary rule and the going rate for the occupation code. Some healthcare and education roles may follow different salary treatment, so the occupation code, route and employer details should always be checked carefully.

  • Find the closest occupation code
  • Check whether the role is eligible
  • Check the going rate
  • Check the standard salary threshold
  • Check healthcare or education rules where relevant
  • Check the licensed sponsor before applying

Please read

Occupation eligibility is not the same as a job offer

A role being listed as eligible does not mean every employer can sponsor it. The employer must hold the correct sponsor licence, the job must match the right occupation code, the salary must meet the rules and the employer must issue a valid Certificate of Sponsorship.
