Probably will be the same as the furlough scheme. Time spent under this scheme will not count for the award of pointswanttostayintheuk wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 3:43 pmHello, does anyone here know how Tier 1 holders are affected by the post-furlough Job Support Scheme beginning in November? It seems to involve partially subsidised part time work for our employees - but can we participate? And if so, is it the same as with furlough where this will not count against our 1 year employment requirement?
Thanks
Just watch out for new notices. Home office should be issuing updates. Anyway, it is possibly not relevant for another month now.wanttostayintheuk wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 2:40 pmThanks Zimba, is there any way to find out that you know of? Surely this issue will affect the majority of Tier 1 holders
Now you changed your query. The visa rules do NOT prevent you to participate in any scheme. In general, the Tier 1E rules do NOT prevent you from doing anything in a business context and you are free to do as you wish. Your business like any other UK business is eligible to participate. Satisfying the visa requirements is a separate issue as you are expected to have done specific things in order to get a visa.wanttostayintheuk wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 4:54 pmZimba, that has nothing to do with it, I am not expecting anything. I need to understand how many months my visa is going to be extended sdue to furlough and potentially any subequent schemes - so that i can meet the 1 year employment requirements.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus ... -residentsIf you’re on a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa and your business has been disrupted
You no longer need to employ at least 2 people for 12 consecutive months. The 12 month period you’re required to employ someone for can be made up of multiple jobs across different months.
Time when your employees were furloughed will not count towards the 12 month period.
If you’ve not been able to employ staff for 12 months by the time your visa expires, you’ll be allowed to temporarily extend your stay to give you time to meet the requirement.
These arrangements will continue for applications made after 31 May 2020, where the jobs you’re relying on were disrupted due to coronavirus.
