<p>The appropriate salary requirements for Tier 2 workers are determined by the Home
Office and are benchmarked against prevailing earnings for individual occupations,
drawing on available sources of earnings data including the Annual Survey of Hours
and Earnings. While the minimum salary requirement for overhead lines workers fell
from £12.33 to £10.12 per hour between 2011 and 2012, the most recent changes to the
Shortage Occupation List, effective from 6 April 2014, increased the annual earnings
requirement for this occupation from £22,800 to £23,600 for experienced workers, and
from £18,100 to £18,600 for new entrants. The Migration Advisory Committee has been
asked by the Government to <br>consider the continued inclusion of overhead lines
workers on the Shortage Occupation List, and issued a call for evidence on 29 September
2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
