Check if your job or occupation code is eligible for a PhD salary discount on the Skilled Worker or Health and Care routes.
If your job is eligible for a PhD salary discount, you can be paid 80% or 90% of the job’s usual going rate, depending on which subject you are qualified in.
You must also meet the other eligibility requirements for the Skilled Worker visa or the Health and Care visa.
If you qualify for the standard rate, because you got your certificate of sponsorship after 4 April 2024, read the ‘standard rate’ column.
If you qualify for the lower rate, because you got your certificate of sponsorship before 4 April 2024, read the ‘lower rate’ column.
You qualify for the lower rate if you:
- are applying for a Health and Care Worker Visa in certain occupations
- you got your certificate of sponsorship for your first Skilled Worker visa before 4 April 2024 and have continually held one or more Skilled Worker visas since then
The annual salaries for these jobs are based on a 37.5-hour working week. They must be pro-rated for other working patterns, based on the weekly working hours stated by your employer.
