COS start date query

[prisingh]

hi all,

I have my cos with start date from 5 sep. but i got my visa with entry clearance stamp..

so can i start my work from 29 aug. ? if yes does the company have to apply to HO informing the change in date.

thanks

i found this in the guidance but cant understand clearly ::


The start date given on the CoS must be the date that the migrant is expected
to start working for you at the time the CoS is assigned.
If such start date for a Tier 2 (General) migrant is subsequently changed after
leave has been granted, it must be within 28 days from the later of:
• the date on which their entry clearance or leave to remain is granted
• the start date on their CoS (taking into account any changes to start date
properly reported before leave is granted)
