How does a tier 2 worker get paid

[eek]

As mentioned here

Being ignorant as I am, I thought that the T&S rules were also going to apply to those nasty offshore visa type people?
Don't they come through consultancies who usually get tax relief on their T&S?
Would someone please explain how these people could be affected by all these potential new rules and regs?

Does anyone know how a tier 2 onshored worker is currently being paid. I know its poor salary and expenses but in what ratio and where is the money paid to those workers coming from.....

Edit - I know it seems off topic but it would be curious to see how they would be hit / not hit in the T&S regulations....

Not necessarily, Tier 2 General workers are sponsored by licenced companies in the UK and nothing to do with Tier 2 ICT visas. There's a cap on T2G visas (20,000 pa or so) but no cap on T2ICT but T2ICT doesn't lead to ILR or residency. T2G can apply for ILR after 5 years providing they've fulfilled the criteria over that period.

Indeed so you would assume that the T2G are classed as employed so go through the standard employee process. What might be different is the situation where certain Umbrella's are illegally offering sponsorship and then placing the person on a client. They would be an employee of a brolly but god knows if that brolly follows the same rules and regs of a proper one. As it's highly arguable about the legality of this I don't think its worth considering.

This is a good read.

Sounds like the government should adjust the rules a little if I'm going to lose the T&S allowance.
