Payslips authenticity - stamping and signing?

[seanjoe]

Hi there,

I was on an HSMP and am now applying for a tier 1 extension (general) visa.

Over the past 12 months, I have worked for 3 employers (all UK based):

Months 1-4: Employer A
Months 5-8: Employer B
Months 8-12: Employer C
Months 11-12: Employer A

Redundancy on employer A, and got back the job.

My question is:

Employer A's payslips are on official serrated print colured sationery (thick paper).
Employer B's payslips are official but it looks as if its printed off a printer on normal A4 paper; the size of the payslip is the normal payslip size, but it looks black and white.
Employer C's payslips are once again on thinner paper, and is coloured with company name and all details, but no serrated edges.

How do i know which payslips need to be stamped and signed? am i going for an overkill by stamping and signing these UK BASED PAYSLIPS?

Please help.

Thanks
Sean

If the payslips are issues by UK employer i think it should be fine. Type of Official stationary vary from company to company.
Besides, these payslips can be verified anytime by HO from your employers.

Don;t think it should be a problem.

Sean,

As long as they are formal payslips from a registered company then i dont thing you need to loose ur sleep over them. Different company use different payslip, if HO is not happy it is their responsibility to call your employers to verify your claim. Unless ur salary details are printed on normal plain A4 paper then u are required to stamp it.
However, I dont think there is any harm in stamping the payslips if you can -- can someone correct me if im wrong?

unless printed on "normal A4 paper".

this is what i'm not sure in case of company B, as it looks like its just a print out.. but i'm sure if i ask them, they will say that its official payslips that was issued by their accountant.

anyways, thanks chetanojha. they are uk based slips so let's see how it goes.
