Changes to the role or salary

You must immediately inform HR of any significant changes in the sponsored individual's circumstances, such as:

• a promotion or change in job title, or core duties
• a change of salary from the level stated at the start of the individual's sponsorship, such as additional allowances (not including annual increments or bonuses)
• a change of salary from that stated at the start of the individual's sponsorship due to maternity, paternity, shared parental or adoption leave, or a period of long term sick leave lasting one month or longer
• the location they are employed at changes

HR would normally expect to learn about these changes through usual procedures, so no special reporting should be necessary. However, the timely reporting of these changes is particularly important for sponsored employees.

The University must report these circumstances to the Home Office within ten working days of them occurring.
