How SOC codes work
The Home Office uses ONS Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes to decide whether a role can be sponsored on a Skilled Worker visa. Each eligible code has a per-occupation minimum salary (the going rate) that the sponsor must pay, whichever is higher than the £41,700 general threshold.
