karen79 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hoping someone could throw some light on the Market salary rates criteria, I note from the potential employers point of view they have to clarify rate of pay for potential employee etc. I note it states within the five Market salary rates categories that if you have benefited from falling under the concessional English category that the base Market salary rate is $81040.? can anyone shed any light on this, and am I assuming rightly that means if you hold a UK passport then this should be the base rate prescribed by the employer?? From a skype call I believe our potential employer is offering an annual salary of below that and nine weeks on his application for sponsorship and nomination is yet to be approved- and I am starting to worry now something is wrong..... I'll attach the link also, thanks in advance http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/457-market-salary-rates.htm Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Concessional English doesn't apply to people from English speaking countries - it is where an applicant in some circumstances is able to have a standard of English lower than the normal requirement. I guess the higher salary rate for them is to make the employer put his money where his mouth when he states that the applicant can do the nominated job. As a UK passport holder, you are not claiming Concessional English so the Market Salary rate for you is the relevant one of the other 4 rates.

Concessional English does not apply to your circumstance. The salary will need to meet “Market Rate” and “Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold” (TSMIT) requirements. There is no specific figure for “Market Rate” as the old minimum salary level (MSL) no longer applies. The Market Rate can be different for every application.

Guest xnightstalker Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 thanks AlburyAhoy, according to the pdf file, the wage for info tech is way too high about 80k, and it is quite general and it doesn't point out web developer salary wage. @ABA, what if his salary is boosted up to 50k, there would be a chance for him to get a new 457, thanks mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockDr Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 What market salary rate means, is that the employer has to show that he will be paying the 457 holder the going rate for his occupation. In practice, this means that the 457 holder has to be paid the same or higher than any australians in the same company doing the same job. If there are no such people in the company, then the the employer has to show what people in similar jobs in similar locations are being paid and use that as the guideline. Any job with a market rate below the minimum threshold is not eligible to be a 457 occupation. Re: the english limitations. What this means is that the only jobs that it is possible to employ someone with no/limited english, have to have a market rate higher than $81k (i.e. pretty specialist occupations). These measures are to stop employers from preferentially employing immigrants on low wages, which would be both exploiting the immigrants, and taking jobs away from australians.

Guest xnightstalker Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thanks RockDr for your explaination, but I'm still unclear, for example if there is no one doing that similar job in company, then the employer has to compare his pay rate with the rate of the market out there in similar location, but the market rate of similar job are not always the same, some company offer 50k, but some offer 80k based on experiences. which one should he pick to show to immigration. By the way, he got 7 IELTS, so I don't think he has limitation in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockDr Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 If there's a range of salaries out there, then I would assume they'd have to show that range and be paying somewhere within that range... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xnightstalker Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 you are right, his friend just sent him a website that is useful to check market rate for a specific role. http://joboutlook.gov.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
