No.if we also need to show certain maintenance funds in our bank account?
Thanks for your reply Seagul- but you reckon we need to mention the absences for the duration of current spouse visa only or all absences since she first came to UK on a different visa category?

ALso, time in UK would count from her first arrival here? reason I ask is because she went back to her country when her visa expired and came back after 9 months under a new visa category.
Thanks

No harm in mentioning absences from first time arrival.
You should open your own thread but anyways see below answer.eclectic wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 9:49 amHi Guys,
I just need some clarification regarding financial requirement for FLR (M) .
my basic salary has been fixed at £50K for 2 years but I have been earning commission/bonus on top - so my overall Gross/net salary has been fluctuating. Am I right to select below option? it's basically prompting me to submit 12 months bank statements rather than 6 with first option- not that I mind but just wondering if I am selecting the right option. see below options I think I need to select in red
Have they been employed by the same employer for the last 6 months prior to the date of application? (Required)
Yes
No
What do they earn? (Required)
The same amount continuously, above the financial requirement amount
The same amount continuously, below the financial requirement amount
Not the same amount continuously, above the financial requirement amount
Not the same amount continuously, below the financial requirement amount
I just didn't want to create too many threads for the same topic- but will do in future if that works better here..seagul wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 9:55 amYou should open your own thread but anyways see below answer.eclectic wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 9:49 amHi Guys,

Your fixed wages will fall under category A salaried person while all bonuses/commission will have to calculate under category A non-salaried person approach which should be added back to your fixed wages to get the actual annual figure of wages.
You can't ignore your commission/bonuses if they are appearing on payslips and getting crediting in bank statement although your basic wages is sufficient. Even if you not receiving bonuses/ commission regularly still use same non-salaried approach. And preferably don't use your partner's wages because it will increase more paper work.eclectic wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 10:08 amI just didn't want to create too many threads for the same topic- but will do in future if that works better here..seagul wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 9:55 amYou should open your own thread but anyways see below answer.eclectic wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 9:49 amHi Guys,

So you're saying I need to include my basic wage under salaried income and then add commission/bonus as a separate source of income under non-salaried? both basic and commission are on my payslips.and I don't earn commission/bonus every month.
Also, if financial requirement is satisfied with only my basic salary only, should I even bother adding non-salaried part? my only concern with that is that it will not co-relate with my payslips or net wages in the account. but can always explain in the cover letter I suppose.
My wife is working as well and I can include hers too but again I wonder if I need to provided I can satisfy the financial requirement myself. too many docs to send otherwise..

So the non-salaried approach is not even an option on the new online form- you are correct as per the guidance Aug 2017 but with new online form, you only get below options- commissions/bonuses do not fall under non-employment income as they have defined it asseagul wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 10:15 amYou can't ignore your commission/bonuses if they are appearing on payslips and getting crediting in bank statement although your basic wages is sufficient.

sure, but the question is then, do I select , the same orLondoner007 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 13, 2018 10:42 amYou select employment and salaried employee. You are a salaried employee because your minimum pay and hours are are fixed. Everyone gets a overtime etc now and then. You are not an non-salaried employee.
I get the approach but I need to address the questions on the form and choices are
Since the commission/bonuses shows on same payslips and also adds into basic wages then definitely they need to be accounted for. As they get vary the basic wages then in my opinion the correct option will be C but you should definitely write a covering letter along with employer letter about it. Don't use option A because your basic fixed wages get varied due to bonus/commission and since they are part of your wages so focus on your overall gross wages to answer the relevant options. So the option c is better.eclectic wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 3:39 pmI get the approach but I need to address the questions on the form and choices are

c)Not the same amount continuously, above the financial requirement amount
d)Not the same amount continuously, below the financial requirement amount
can you just kindly point out the which of above will be applicable to me? I initially thought it's option C as my overall gross/net wage varies each month because of commission element which is shown separately on my payslip.
but Londoner007 is suggesting it's option a and that I can explain the variable part of commission in the cover letter?
Just to clarify my paylips will show
Gross Wages: (fixed amount for last 1 year now)
Commission: variable amount paid in certain months

obviously the difference between selecting the 2 options is providing 12 months payslips and statements under option c as compared to 6 months under option a but I don't have an issue with that.eclectic wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 3:55 pmagreed, that makes more senseseagul wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 3:50 pmSince the commission/bonuses shows on same payslips and also adds into basic wages then definitely they need to be accounted for.

You reckon the employer letter just needs to confirm fixed wage and overall OTE for the year or does it need to provide breakdown of all 12 months between wages and commission?
commission is not based on overtime, its for bringing in new business for the company and bonus for achieving target. but even without commission/bonus my basic is well above financial requirment.seagul wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 4:59 pmeclectic wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 3:58 pmobviously the difference between selecting the 2 options is providing 12 months payslips and statements under option c as compared to 6 months under option a but I don't have an issue with that.eclectic wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 3:55 pmagreed, that makes more senseseagul wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 3:50 pm

Yes employer letter must state overtime too and if possible then even employer can give the average total of bonus/commission of last 12 months and the same comes under non-salaried approach.
