How the calculation works

No unexplained red flags.

When a worker needs attention, your team sees exactly how Sponsoro reached the result — not a mysterious compliance score.

Understand why something was flagged before deciding what to do next.

Going-rate calculations

Built around the worker, not a spreadsheet lookup.

Different occupations have different going rates, and the applicable salary position depends on the worker's individual sponsorship circumstances.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Skilled Worker salary compliance software?

Skilled Worker salary compliance software helps sponsors assess sponsored-worker salary information against the relevant salary requirements and occupation going rates while maintaining the supporting calculation and compliance record.

Does Sponsoro calculate Skilled Worker going rates?

Sponsoro uses the worker's relevant occupation and configured rule data when evaluating the salary position, including applicable going-rate information.

Can Sponsoro check salary before payroll?

Yes. Draft payroll information can be assessed before payroll is submitted so potential issues can be reviewed earlier.

Can I test a proposed salary change?

Yes. Simulation mode allows your team to evaluate proposed figures without treating the simulation as an actual worker change.

Does Sponsoro replace payroll software?

No. Sponsoro is not a payroll system. It adds a sponsorship compliance layer around your payroll and sponsored-worker information.

Does Sponsoro give immigration advice?

No. Sponsoro provides compliance information and explainable calculations. Individual immigration matters requiring professional advice should be considered by an appropriately regulated adviser.

Check before payroll. Not after the problem.

Give HR, payroll and compliance one place to understand sponsored-worker salary risk before payroll is finalised.

See the calculation. Understand the risk. Keep the evidence.
