"headed" payslips, but on the other side?

[nafe12]

The guidance says that payslips should be on company headed paper (if not stamped/signed).

I work for a big institution, who uses a fancy-security form of payslip.

Essentially it's an envelope, which you rip open the sides, and open out the envelope. The payslip data is on the inside. However, the company header is on the other side.

Do you think this will suffice - given the company 'header' is physically attached to the payslip, but just on the reverse side? Or will I likely have trouble...?

Thanks!

Actually, I guess the question is more what constitutes a Formal Payslip.??

The guidance states:

Payslips: These should be either formal payslips or on company headed paper. Where formal payslips are produced on plain paper they must be stamped and signed by the employer. Payslips which are not on headed paper or if the applicant receives all pay slips online, he/she must authenticate the evidence by asking the employer to sign and stamp a printout.

Any thoughts about 'formal' payslips that are produced on other, special paper (e.g. with the company logo on the reverse)?

What about 'formal' payslips that are produced on other, special paper (e.g. with the company logo on the reverse)?

Typically if its a UK payslip, this should be of standard format with all details (comp name, NI number, tax band, employee number, empl name, tax paid till date, gross amount, net amount and much more details etc...) which should suffice.

Not sure of the 'Formal' payslips OR special paper.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately the company name/logo is on the other side of the payslip. And nobody in payroll has a stamp Fingers crossed.

That isn't a problem because these are your formal payslips. Besides, you have to provide a contact in case they wish to verify, so if the Home Office doubts it, they will contact your employer to double check.

Thanks for that. Being paranoid, I always assume that the application will be dismissed on a technicality (e.g. the payslip isn't 'headed' with the company name, but on the other side).

It's reassuring to think that extra enquiries will be made when in doubt.
