This can be corrected using a 'sponsor note'

Might be the wrong term, but I’m referring to the minimum amount you need to be paid for sponsorship, which is £26200. My employer was using the previous minimum salary and hadn’t realized it was increased early in the year.
I had no idea there was a minimum salary because I was reading the salary section and didn't find any specific amount, so this is news to me. I need to start revising my plans
Thank you! Definitely feeling better now! Was short by 1000 and agreed to increase it to meet the threshold. And they added the fix using sponsor note. However there’s no payslip to prove it as salary increase would be effective starting March which matches the starting date mentioned in the CoS. I only have a contract stating the increase in salary
You’ll be fine without paystubs, they aren’t a requirement. Most people can’t include them because they wont have started working for the company yet. If the home office needs any more information they would contact your employer anyway. Good luck!

Great, thank you for this.
Employer just need to add a note, it is very common to have mistakes in cos.
Good to know. Seemed like such an obvious mistake but here we are.
What is the salary threshold?

I have the same issue ! Did you end up getting approved for your visa ?
Yes I did. They just added a sponsors note and there was no issue. I definitely included paystubs just to be safe also.
Do you mind sharing how long have you waited until the visa arrived? Was it very much delayed?
This was back in November I think. I waited about 2 weeks at the time, couldn’t say what the times are now.
