I don't agree ... HMRC will no longer accept PAYE end-of-year returns containing any TN NINOs. Employers must now use real NINOs when making such returns. If thats the case, what would a company do if it employed Mr X without an NI on the 1st of March and X left the company on 28th March. Company i...
You can change jobs providing you obtain a new work permit first. I think OP's concern is about obtaining the first work permit (which is new) from a Business visa. After your work permit approval, from what I know, it is highly likely that HO will ask you to obtain EC from the same country that gr...
VFS’ attitude is - "everything needs to be under my control" till you get your visa stamped. The whole "photograph format" itself explains the typical bureaucracy that you would find in India. Their tactics is to make money by refusing to accept anything other than 50x50mm becaus...
If your current stay here is covered under a valid visa, then I do not see any problem at the time of your student visa to WP-FLR switch.
Its going to be fine so there is no need to panic unnecessarily.
how about for people who just worked using temporary number? How does things work for them? If you do not have an NI number, the employer will have to assign a temporary NI which usually starts with 'TN' followed by DateOfBirth in 6 digit numerals. The tax code will then be a special one - which th...
Yes you are entitled for a P45, if you had a payslip that showed tax deducted on the source (TDS) with a tax code and your NI number. This is regardless of the term you worked.
It's easy explaining the other way, London being the "big town" , gets weightage in the form of a city allowance when compared to Woking or Aston. For e.g, if the company had only 2 offices - one in Aston and the other in Inverness, then of course Astoner's will get the weightage if the co...
Hi, That was rather unfortunate. From my understanding, the whole business visa approval process is manually done based on the following 2 - Personal circumstances shown - Supporting evidences of the trip. With your clients case, it appears like the personal circumstances furnished ( e.g. salary, ag...
Surprise to know that there are companies around that allows prospective new starters to 'choose' their location of work. Of course, I'm assuming that you are joining as a normal staff member. Re: London/Living cost, generally speaking, Aston employees would not be given a "city allowance"...
Every new immigrant entering the job market faces minor obstacles like what you have mentioned. There is nothing to worry about - it's just a matter of time. On the other side, some employers do expect their candidates for certain posts to have some UK experience due to the nature/profile of work an...
if my employer wants to terminate my employment beforehand it will be clearly a breach of contract and for this I can drag them into employment tribunal /country court. SCUK It 'clearly' will not be a breach of contract provided there are 'other clauses' which allows employer to terminate you early...
Just ring up the embassy directly and speak to them ? Details here And be glad !...This is one embassy with a standard landline for enquiry(especially visa related) when compared to the majority on 09 premium rate and other money making telephone numbers. Thanks for the advice guys, looks like I wil...
You don't actually need a passport to apply for naturalisation and have a successful outcome, this is a quote from the guidance The OP said he "entered" UK using a passport 5 years ago, which means his immigration status was then recorded on the passport at a port of entry. I assumed he i...
SCUK, Are you currently in employment with the company? Since you have mentioned you gave the notice period first from your side, the employer and you could mutually agree on a date for early termination against the contractual terms. This has to be agreed by both parties in writing/email. If that's...
Go through the numerous jobs advertised in many jobsites for UK. Many a cases, it’s often left to interpretations becuase they do not specify them clearly. Some jobs will specify applicants 'must be eligible to work in the UK' which could be interpreted as : - you are a current work permit holder, s...
For a succesful naturalisation application, you need to have a valid passport which shows your current immigration status in the country. RE: 1st entry & absent dates, I'm not fully sure but you may have to find alternate evidences ( like NHS-GP or workpermit docs ) to file along with old passpo...
vivek & Rog I'm sorry - I had no idea with HSMP or its rule changes while posting but it certainly seems like there is an issue impacting people from what you both have described. Generally speaking, from what I see, it is very difficult to arrive at consensus to any proposed changes to immigrat...
No one does anyone any favours As you said, I dont think favours or any form of exploitation prevails in our immigration system especially when its backed by a democratic process. Technically speaking, it happens when people(migrants) subject themselves lawfully or unlawfully to either of the above...
JavaGuy, As I said earlier, its better safe to be than sorry. The formula you have mentoned below deos not make any sense with respect to any standard company reimbursement policies. If you are talking about something called HMRC's expense policies and "dispensation agreement" then you, as...
The issue is that they encourage young immigrants to come to Britain, exploit them and then offer them no hope of settlement in this country with the result that they have to go back to their country of their origin. Yes, continuing to provide equal rights for housing benefits and unemployment wage...
This is not uncommon, and more than that - it gives you a stronger edge, and it works in favour of you (as per PCG) to beat IR35. Basically, short term contract with no termination notice means that you are employed fixed term to complete a job that needs your skill. If you are a member of PCG, sear...
Spot on! In another thread I said the same thing! Basically govt. wants to exploint young people from developing worlds. Question: If you are the govt guy holding budget for buying 'cars' from an outside world, don't you prefer to buy & drive young, energetic hi-spec & super performance car...
