The following could come to the caseworker mind. In some countries wage slips is very easy to forge. I think the main point here is to make them convince.
Let me give you an example people who want to plan for 1 year could do the following, you (relatives, parent, friends) set up a company even the company it selves is that he is a employees at the same time they are director
From there you start employing your friend, yourselves (or whatever) and transfer salary to their bank account regularly, print a pay slip (you could get it print in in ne day from the street is not it). Give them pay slip every month. After one year, they willl be able to quaLIFY for HSMP. Asssuming they have degree, qualify for age category.
I am not tying to accuse anybody but just to show what might come to the caseworkers mind. If a lot of pople know about this trick the caseworker must know about it.
This is especially true in case income is earned in developing countries. The inccme braket required by HSMP have been carefully considered. And this income is highly likely will be earned by peole working in multi national companies or in prestigious position in a well known companies.
Put ourselves in caseworker shoes. If someone earns say XXXXX and qualify ifor income criteria and from british embassy they know they never heard about this companies, no website, etc, this is certainly raise eyebrow ? You might be true but you need to work extra hard to convince them. Certainly, this make people in this situation in a disvantage position. But on the other side very strong evidence will be needed to convince that this case is true. Just a matter of though
Other example you just use your parent, friends or relatives company name to pay you salary and after HSMP you return all the money back. Does is make sense ??

Interesting, I hadn't thought of it like that. However if you borrow money from your parents etc, you'd still have to forge the pay slips wouldn't you? My worry is that my pay slips won't match my tax document at all because I've worked two different jobs in the period and there is no correlation between the two documents.
Thanks SYH.
