2) 6th August- 5th Sept 167 hours = £1566.46
3) 6th Sept- 5th Oct. 164hours = £1538.32
4) 6th Oct- 5th Nov. 184 hours = £1725.92
5) 6th Nov- 5th Dec. 176 hours = £1650.88
6) 6th Dec- 5th Jan 166 hours = £1577.08
7)6th Jan - 5th Feb. 166 hours = £1577.08
If you can wait one more month then better to exclude the month of July as was in number 1 and just rely from Aug - Jan. If these wages figures are also including the overtime then you need to isolate it from the base salary to get it calculated by none-salaried person formula (total amount of overtime from the last 6 months /6×12= ??). Afterwards, add the resultant figure into the base salary where the lowest wage figure during the last 6 months will be multiplied by 12. Consequentially, that will be the correct annual figure for the purposes of meeting the financial threshold.

*** I know what you are trying and few others might say to use the whole income under none-salaried person method where based on above figures you can conveniently meet the requirement. But unless the caseworker won't notice that you actually have a base salary despite working varying overtime, it won't succeed as per the official guidance which quote I have given you earlier. In this relation, what I will recommend you to do is to start undertaking excessive hours of overtime***

I’ve been paid for 64 hours instead of 80 hours.
That probably due to you have joined them after their previous payday or very close to the next payday because few employers keep the wages equivalent to 1-2 weeks in deposit. Otherwise I could be an error/mistake.
It’s definitely a mistake I remember I wasn’t login into the clocking system for 2 days hence 16 hours going unpaid. Do you know how these 2 weeks will be considered when calculating salaried employment as it is really low compared to the other months. Thanks for your help
Thanks Seagul you have helped a lot. May I ask what experience you have with visas as you do know a lot, great. I’m sorry it might seem like I’m asking the same question again and again, I don’t have a solicitor at the moment because I’m unsure if I should apply with this job, so you’ve given me a lot of useful advice to go with.

Yes I will be applying under the salaried employment it seems safer, as you said I have a base salary.

This is probably my final question I think I have everything I need:

by my list of payslips, am I right in saying that £1538.32 from the lowest payslip number 3 (164 hours) will be my base salary and any of the other months OVER this amount will be included as overtime

Thanks for your compliments & showing great reverence. Honestly speaking I haven't got much knowledge in immigration related matters except in my own areas of specialisation which at lesser extents intersect to immigration and those areas I most often respond to. Also, I just exchange the official guidances, others experiences and strictly use fair discernment.

Payslips issue- spouse visa

Post by Obean118 » Mon Nov 02, 2020 2:00 pm

Hi all, I have a question and in need of advice.
I am contracted for 12 months, annual salary of £19,600. It says explicitly that I am contracted for 40 hours a week. These are my pay slips and potential future earrings according to my rota:


Start date: 24th July
1) 6th July- 5th August 80 hours = £750
2) 6th August- 5th Sept 167 hours = £1566.46
3) 6th Sept- 5th Oct. 164hours = £1538.32
4) 6th Oct- 5th Nov. 184 hours = £1725.92
5) 6th Nov- 5th Dec. 176 hours = £1650.88
6) 6th Dec- 5th Jan 166 hours = £1577
7)6th Jan - 5th Feb. 166 hours = £1577

how could I meet the requirements as my 3rd payslip is just under £1550 so will not meet the requirements. These payslips do not cover overtime,
Questions:
1) if I did overtime, does it only have to do it to cover the shortfall from the 3rd months? And will I need writing from my employer stating that overtime is guaranteed for the future months and the reason for overtime?
2) if I am contracted for 40 hours a month why are the hours per month so variable? Does it help that my annual salary is £19,500 or is the base pay more significant
3) Could I sort of say that some of these months were overtime (e.g. month 4 which 184 hours, could I say I did 8 hours overtime? It’s unlikely the caseworker will know if it’s the contracted hours or not. I could get my employer to say it’s overtime in writing.
4) is it better just to work for 2 extra months and make them over £1550?
5) could I somehow apply under the non-salaries category, which is a bit difficult as my contract states 40 hours a week.

I have some savings in my other account. Do I have to reveal this bank account and Will the caseworkers be able to find that I have another bank account?

I have savings from maintenance loans from student finance. I don’t think these will be acceptable as income as they are a “loan” so I don’t want to include this in the application.

2) I have proof for just £14000 received from non-repayable bursaries and payments from uni, but I have £2000 unaccounted for. Does every single penny have given with proof of source?

No. You aren't obliged in disclosing your savings in other account (if not wishes so) and the same won't bother to caseworker.

Loan amount isn't acceptable, therefore, keep it at aside.

If someone wishes then can declare the provenance of each penny to keep case more intelligible. There is another section about it in the official guidance.

Spouse visa employment letter template

Post by Obean118 » Tue Dec 22, 2020 9:10 pm

Hi all, could you please advise on the following details of the following template for my employer. This is just the framework not the actual letter:

This is confirmation that Miss X [address] is currently employed at X [address] as a Pre-Registration healthcare professional
It is a fixed-term, full-time, salaried contract since 1st August 2020, leading to a permanent role after registration.
Rate of pay is £9.39 an hour, paid on a monthly basis.
Gross annual salary is £19,500 on a pro rota basis and they have been earning this salary since 1st August 2020.


My Lawyer told me to not submit my contract which states minimum hours to be worked. I’m not sure if he’s going down the salaried route or non-salaried route.
1)does mentioning “salary” affect how the income is calculated? I’m hoping it to be added up over 6 months rather than having a basic pay just in case one month falls under.
How should I word the letter to prevent it going down the contracted salaried route
do I need to state the hours worked in the letter or to mention anything along the lines of it being pro rota and variable?

Many thanks!

I have not asked questions about employment letter I didn’t know it has to be part of the same thread so opened a new thread just for answers for this query. Didn’t want to get answers for income related queries.

The question I have asked is why you are posting under the two different usernames. Multiple usernames is strictly not permitted on the forum.

Other username you are using, last logged in on 9th December at 2.45pm

member/sxm1256/

This topic below is the other topic you have asked the same questions under another username.
