Hi
With following facts can somebody answer my queries please.
* home office recently granted renewal of annual allocation of CoS (expiry date 05 April 2015)
* migrant current leave will expire on 20th June 2015 (this was the migrant's first leave granted under Tier 2 general)
* licence end date May 2016
* migrant employee is going to maternity leave in July 2014
MY QUESTIONS
* does sponsor need to assign this CoS to its migrant employee NOW? Or only can assign this CoS when migrant need to apply for extension of leave. i'm asking this because from page 4 of below link, under work dates heading it seems to be sound like assignment of CoS is only needed when migrant need to apply for extension of leave.
* if sponsor need to assign CoS now then what would be the start date and end date?
* where to report that employee is on maternity leave and getting maternity pay? is under employee activity in SMS?

Start date* The start date cannot be in the past. If the migrant is
already working for you and you are assigning the CoS so
that they can apply to extend their stay, you should enter a
start date no later than the day after the last day of leave
given on their current visa.
End date*
