Your unpaid absence *might* be a problem, because strictly the rules say that any absence has to be documented by your employer as "paid". However, if you took the absence before the rule change went into effect retrospectively at the end of 2012, you might have a grounds for appeal if they deny your application. I'm not a lawyer, so you should get professional advice if you are seriously concerned about this.
I'm also between jobs (literally) in a couple of weeks and was hoping to have a nice beach holiday, but alas not.
What if the unpaid annual leave is after Dec 2012?abhisheks9 wrote:i don't think even unpaid absence will be problem, and i also have (not 1 but 2) unpaid absences before rule got changed in Dec 2012.
I advice everyone to go through continuous period guidelines here: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... eriods.pdf which should bring clarity.
Only problem is if you got more than 180 days absence in any given yr preceeding date of application.

Quick question, Do you really need to show the job now for claiming points in May 2016?manorey wrote:Hi,
I will be eligible for ILR in May 2016 but had some questions that answer to them is critical to my eligibility.
Would really appreciate any help:
1. If I have 10 days of gap between my jobs (unemployed), is it going to be an issue? -- note that I already have my next job and this is solely to have a bit of rest between jobs and it DOES NOT break any minimum salary or any other criteria.
2. If I have a few days (<10) of unpaid holidays (I'm just short of annual leave entitlement and need this for my holiday trip). Would this be an issue?
3. Because I was given my T1 extension on the day I applied (and not from the expiry of the previous one). at the end of my extension I would have 4 years 11 month and a few days continuity. Would this be an issue?
Thanks
But it's not about the "points" here, it's about the continuity of five year period. (which may be considered broken if you have been outside of country while on unpaid annual leave).MACY wrote:As far as i know u need to show last 12 months of salary or profit to claim points. What's the point to worry about the earlier period?
Yes, that's the reasonable conclusion, but we have always seen rules are not the most comprehensive part of the worldnaveediiqbal wrote:Point is if there is any such gap. you don't have to show you on job that time then. and in that case leaves wont matter.
