ILR PAYSLIP QUERY

[jv2016]

Hi,

I am applying in person for ILR on 24th August.
Just a quick query do I need to provide details from HR of all the annual leaves i have taken during the last 5 years? Or just the leave taken during my time out of the UK?

Many thanks

[Akorotaeva]

Out of the UK only.

[jv2016]

Thank you so much

Dear Members,

Please can I clarify something. My service manager and HR has given me a combined letter with all thr relevant details required for ILR. May I know if this is acceptable?

Also my manager has electronically signed the letter. Is this acceptable or does it need to be a real/physical signature?

Many thanks

Can you elaborate what do you mean by combined letter?

Electronic signatures are commonplace in large organizations, however, if I was you, I'll get your manager to physically sign the letter.

[jv2016]

Thanks for your reply. Combined letter includes the job details, forseeable future statement, salary, Soc code etc and the confirmation of annual leaves taken during my time out of the UK. Then at the end of letter electronic signatures of HR manager and my service manager.

I can ask my manager to sign the letter physically.

Thanks

Yes this should be ok.

I'm enclosing a format below as a reference (which I submitted today along with my ILR application, and it was accepted), so you can make sure all avenues are covered in your letter. I know the format below is a bit detailed and not every employer will be keen to sign on so much stuff, or the language might differ. That's ok as long as it covers SOC, Salary, Hours, foreseeable future and confirmation that absences were approved by employer.

I can ask my manager to sign the letter physically.

Thanks

Yes, I would recommend physical signature than electronic.

[jv2016]

Many thanks for your reply and very useful letter template. It almost looks similar to mine, and as you suggested I will get it physically signed.

Appreciate your help

Yes my salary is above the threshold £35500. But unsure which appropriate rate to write on my application.

Also please let me know if P60 is mandatory??

[CR001]

P60 not required.

In terms of what salary you write, you simply state the salary of the band that you are on.

Many thanks CR001

Dear Members

I am applying for ILr this friday, and my payday is on the 24th of every month, which is the sameday I am applying for ILR. Because of the one calendar month rule, I am not sure showing the July and previous payslips should be sufficient?
Please advise

Thanking you

That’s interesting. At Croydon. I hope it won’t be an issue. They can cross check previous paydays and confirm this. End of the day they want to know I am genuine. Good luck

[trueblue19]

You'll be fine. They want to see the recentmost payslip, which in your case will be for the month before. Your salary credits will anyway show that you get paid on 24th of each month, and at almost all organizations, payslips are generated the next day, at the earliest.

Thanks. All wentwell ilr approved
