T1 Enterprenuer Extension Employee Question

[schahzeb]

Hi guys,

Not sure if this question has been asked before as i couldn't find the answer anywhere. For showing employees to score points for extension i believe the requirement is only their passport as their ID's. One of my employee doesn't have a passport so i got his birth certificate. Do we need any other document to accompany the certificate and also is the certificate sufficient enough. Another question; I have had in total of 7 employee 4 of them lasted for 6 months each but rest of them lasted only for few months. Do i have to provide details of all of the employee to the home office or just the 4 that were employed for 6 months each.

Thanks in advance.

PLEASE read the guide, it clearly says:

Documents kept by an employer as evidence that an employee is a settled worker will often be the passport pages from a UK passport that contain the employee’s personal details, and the page containing the UK Government stamp or endorsement, if appropriate. It may also be the worker’s full birth certificate, showing the name of at least one parent

I have had in total of 7 employee 4 of them lasted for 6 months each but rest of them lasted only for few months. Do i have to provide details of all of the employee to the home office or just the 4 that were employed for 6 months each.

Just the ones you are claiming points for

Thanks Zimba....was looking for the guidelines but couldn't find the document itself...but I also knew I'll get the information from you quicker than finding the guidelines.

Much appreciated mate.

Regarding your employee ID:
you would also need to submit the employee proof of name change along with full birth certificate ,in case he/she has changed his/her name since birth, i.e after marriage.
To prevent illegal working you would also need to retain A full birth or adoption certificate issued in the UK which includes the
name(s) of at least one of the holder’s parents or adoptive parents,
together with an official document giving the person’s permanent
National Insurance number and their name issued by a Government
agency or a previous employer.
I also had an employee without passport so I submitted her full BC,marriage certificate (cause she changed her name since birth) and P45 from previous employer.

All the best with the decision then. Did you submit proof of NI for all the employees

Hi Guys,

Another question; My business account is with Natwest and i think i would have to show at least last 1 year bank statement for Enterprenuer extension (correct me if i am wrong). Natwest don't normally stamp the statements so what are alternative options or what my actual options are. Do i have to order it from customer service or in branch printed statement would do. Or is there any way we can get the statements stamped through them as i tried few branches last time and they refused to do it as their company policy.

Only bank statements printed officially by the bank

Thanks for the response Zimba, not sure what would classify original in the eyes of HO. Considering you've been here long enough and read most of the success stories, would you think the statements printed by the bank when you request on the counter as acceptable without stamps. Or would the statement we request over the phone by paying customer service £2 to £5 classify as original? Which one would be the safest way around it as i am sure most of us are on online statements.
I remember couple of year ago when i requested these over the phone the customer service agent said "We would send you copies as well and it would be similar to the one you would get from the branch" and i remember receiving the exact same copies as i got from the branch so had to get them stamped by bank...luckily it was Barclays and they stamped it.

[zimba]

Banks usually print the statements for you and send it to you via post. If the bank prints them for you, it is considers original

Thanks Zimba, i'll ask Customer Service to post me the statements then, do we need to send only last 1 year business account bank statement.

There is nowhere in the guide or the rules that you need to send one year business statements.
PLEASE READ THE GUIDE

Thanks. i did just after posting the question and i think i got the answer. only place where bank statement is required is when i have to show the director loan money coming into the business account from personal. Also a bank letter to confirm i have a uk business bank account or bank statement to show business is trading.

[schahzeb]

Guys, got another question. While checking my statements today for the transfer of director loan I found out one of the transaction i made was from a joint account to my business account. Would that be acceptable or does it have to be from personal account. Would i have to mention anything in the director loan agreement to clarify this or would i need letter from joint account holder to say the money belonged to me.

IN this case send the statement from joint account also covering that transaction as long as it has your name it will be accepted . If you are submitting any joint bank statements make sure to get the signs of joint account holder on application form . Without this HO office might not accept any joint statements .

[schahzeb]

Thanks, i've been to the bank and changed the account from Joint to Single so hoepfully when i print the statement out it won't have my cousins name on it.

After going through other threads and the ukba guidelines i wasn't able to get a clarification on this - Can someone please advise if a position created in two jobs overlap each other as two of my employee out of 4 were working on a same job post for 2 months in between before one left.

Thanks
