Strange Case here.....Pro-rata salary calculation

[ChetanOjha]

Dear Members,
I am working in UK since past 2 years.
But in March 2006 and April 2006, I went to India to change the company and came back in the end of April 2006.

As per the Salary requirement of HSMP, we should be considering CONSECUTIVE 12 months out of last 15 months.But since I was paid in Indian Rupees for the above said months the conversion rate is coming to very low and this is disturbing all my points calculations.

In summary:

1.Dec-06 -- GBP
2.Nov-06 -- GBP
3.Oct-06 -- GBP
4.Sep-06 -- GBP
5.Aug-06 -- GBP
6.Jul-06 -- GBP
7.Jun-06 -- GBP
8.May-06 -- GBP
9.Apr-06 -- In Indian Rupees
10.Mar-06 -- In Indian Rupees
11.Feb-06 -- GBP
12.Jan-06 -- GBP
13.Dec-05 -- GBP
14.Nov-05 -- GBP
15.Oct-05 -- GBP


As shown in the above table, can I calculated my annual salary on pro-rata basis as mentioned in the HSMP Guidelines; which means I will neglect the India salary completely and will calculate only salary for months Jan-06 to Dec-06 (except Mar-06 and Apr-06).

Any prompt response would be much much appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, you can calculate your earnings on a pro rata basis.

Hi there,
Yes it clearly states under Annex C, point 38 of the guidance notes that you can use a pro-rata formula
If i was you, i would claim the previous 8months DEC06 to MAY06 and use the salary from this on a pro rata basis. The calculation should be as follows:

1, add total uk earnings for 8months
2, divide by 8
3, multipy by 12
4, = your annual salary

Hi All,

Many thanks for your replies.

Do I need to submit the proof of Salary Earned in India as well along with the UK earned salary?

I am having salary proofs of UK earned salary but not for the Indian earned salary

[WoodieG]

They only pro rata earnings if you have been working for the full 12 months, so you will need to prove that you were working.

Hi WoodieG,

I didn't understand your reply. Do i need to provide the evidence of Indian earning for 2 months or not?

Thanks for your prompt reply...

Hi again,
If what woodieG says is right, that they will only pro-rata earnings if you have worked the whole 12 months (which makes since) then yes, you will need to include your indian pay slips. Can i refer you to point 43 Annex C of the guidance notes. It says all 12 months wages slips are needed.

Cheers

if the only thing they are interested in is whether one worked for the 2 months, is it enough if he supplies a letter from employer stating his period of employment?

WoodieG & ecker are correct, you need to provide the Indian payslips aswell...
