Run a salary / SOC going-rate check

Enter a worker's SOC occupation code and SponsorGuard resolves the official Home Office going rate from the recorded SOC code and selected salary route — and flags anyone paid below the threshold.

  1. On a worker profile, enter the SOC occupation code for their role.
  2. SponsorGuard calculates the applicable going rate and salary threshold from recorded data.
  3. Select a new-entrant or other discount route only after your team has checked eligibility. The calculation applies that recorded route; it does not decide eligibility.
  4. Open Salary compliance to see everyone checked at once, with shortfalls flagged. Figures show their 'as of' date and gov.uk source.
