Absence Letter - previous employer

Post by NAR00 » Fri Nov 20, 2020 8:31 pm

As part of the ILR Set(O) application for T2G migrant, one requirement is to submit a letter from my employer(s) listing down absences amongst other employment details. My question is specific to the absence letter from my previous employer.

On this board, there is a nicely written template, whereby employers need to include a list summarising the extent of annual leave days taken during the employment period.

I'm still wondering if it is sufficient to list down the annual leave days only? Please bear in mind:
a - while some of these days are spent in the UK, doesn't really make them absence from the UK. Nonetheless, these will still appear in the employer's absence letter, as they are counted towards the annual leave days. A good example is the vacations we must have taken while in lockdown and not being able to travel outside abroad.
b - on the other hand, there are some absences from the UK, however not registered as annual leave - example weekend getaways to Europe. These won't appear on the employer's absence letter.
c - employer's absence letter will be covering annual leave days against non-holiday days only, thus excluding weekends, bank holidays and business trips, even if those days were spent outside the UK.

1. Are the immigration rules clear about above senarios a, b and c?

2. Am I correct to assume employer's absence letter is to confirm mainly any unpaid related periods / days, whereas the days spent outside the UK will be picked up from the ILR application itself and passport entry/exit stamps?

Many thanks in advance for your guidance and any help on above questions. Happy to clarify further if required.
