Yes, that is okAnontier25 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 12:00 amHi Macnarth,
You say it's ok to combine jobs between two business, does this mean it has to be under the one company or is it literally under two different businesses which are under two different companies as per the guidelines? A bit confused.
HO can ask what happened etc, but you would not be violating any immigration rules by doing soAnontier25 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 7:17 pmHello,
I find myself in a similar situation.i am in the pre- ILR stage and am due to submit my papers in May 2021. I have 2 businesses, but Business A is really struggling due to the pandemic, so I am thinking of merging it into business B( take the e-commerce platform down and stock it all in the lifestyle store which is business b). They are both under the same company so that is not an issue but my concern is during the extension application I had written in my cover letter that business A was going to be working with XYZ materials and collections etc but as luxury retail has taken such a hit I am not willing to invest in business A creating new collections anymore and also don't want to have to keep paying for all the overhead costs eg website, email server etc just for the sake of it. If I close it all down, will HO ask where it is and what's happened to it etc?
I can't see why notAnontier25 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 7:49 pmHello,
A full time job is mentioned to be 30 hours and over. I am in the Pre- ILR stage, and will be applying for my next batch of visa related things in May 2021.
I had 2 jobs on , 1 x 32 hours a week and job 2 on 35 hours a week, however, one of the job roles wants to do less hours, so is it ok if I do it the following way:
Job A- Continues on 32 hours a week ( 4 days x 8 hours)
Job B- Was on 35 hours and now want so s less hours Switch person 1 to 28 hours ( 4 days x 7 hours)
Add on person 2 at 1 day x 7 hours = 7 hours = 28 +7 hours = 35.
Would this be ok?
TIA!
Nothing happens. There are no penaltiesAnontier25 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 9:13 pmOk here is the question on a new thread:
Marcnath, in regards to another conversation but as it's in a similar vein but since you don't like tagging on other thread albeit may be similar in nature. Here is the questions again:
What happens to Tier 1 business owners who for eg spent the £50K on a first business and were successful until extension stage. But as the nature of trade has been impacted looked at buying a business with additional funds, not the original £50k ( as that's already been spent), would the individual be penalised for this?
There are no rules on this. It does not matter.Anontier25 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 9:13 pm
And what are the HO rules on individuals having a few ltd companies but only using the initial company they have for the 5 years of the paperwork ( still following all the rules for eg employees etc)? Have you come across such a situation before?
There is no such requirement for extension or ILRAnontier25 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 9:13 pm
And at the time of ILR stage, do we have to submit the bank account statements to show all the payslips/ wages etc?
Yes, it is quite straightforward. There are plenty of software that will do all things that are needed. I only used an accountant to prepare the one year's report I needed for my extension.Anontier25 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 2:57 pmHello all,
I was wondering if any of your on Tier 1 Entp visa have done your own payroll without an accountant and is it straightforward to do on your own to submit the information and ensure that there is a papertrail for all the staff that can then be easily submitted for visa paperwork?
Thank you for your comments/ feedback.
I know my limits. Last time I needed to fill a document with HMRC, I spent 3 days googling, filled the document and sent it. 2 weeks later, I received a nasty letter + £150 fine. I went to an accountant and he fixed things for me. Hopefully no immigration was involved with that, but just to tell you that mistakes are easy to make and the Home Office can leverage them against you.
Two separate things.Anontier25 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 5:17 pmOh sorry Marcnath I thought you guys just didn't want comments on other people's questions, I didn't know it also meant we couldn't start new threads as questions themes are different at each point. Thanks for putting it all here. And thanks for the feedback about the accountant.
Don't stress yourself.Anontier25 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 5:29 pmHey guys,
Happy New Year!
Due to the 3rd lockdown, I'm reviewing the staff contracts I have and am thinking to switch them to 0 hour contracts as long as the 30 hours per week are done( min requirements for the visa rules), and make sure the 2 jobs are on going just the hours are worked differently etc, and that then impacts their holiday hours etc as 0 hours is calculated as 12.5% of an hour to get the holiday time in. it's just so incredibly difficult cashflow wise due to having lost all our sales channels thanks to the pandemic and it's ongoing. We are allowed 0 hour contracts right on this visa scheme as long as the min hours are met?
Do you think this is wise especially as I am applying for my IRL in May 2021?
I hired 2 members of full time staff in April 2020 ( 32 hours per week for each one) and then one left in September, so I took on 2 more staff ( one was on 28 hours and the other was 7 hours to make 35 hours per week) to make up for the role of the one in September although please note I have not accessed the furlough scheme as I'm still suspicious of this and the impact on the visa even if the rules have now changed and said we can use it.
How would you best structure this if you were in my shoes?
TIA from a very confused and stressed human!
YesAnontier25 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 11:15 amThanks. So as long as I have the equivalent of 32 hours per week per job that should be fine how it is chopped and changed and applied to correct?
