If you were a salaried person with annual income of £18600 then you too will be alright under category B otherwise your income must be varying with the average income during the last 6 months should be at least £9300 and plus you must have earned £18600 during the last 12 months.Fififadi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 7:42 amHi
I had a similar issue with my payslips where i took the whole month of April off as sabbatical leave (unpaid) for my wedding. I supplied 12 months of payslips instead to show the consistency and provided a letter confirming my sabbatical and my employment letter also mentioned this and added that there was no change to my employment during this month. I haven't yet heard back so not sure if it will be an issue or not.
Thanks Seagul for the valuable info, unfortunately, I applied under category A so will have to wait and see what happens nowseagul wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 7:52 amIf you were a salaried person with annual income of £18600 then you too will be alright under category B otherwise your income must be varying with the average income during the last 6 months should be at least £9300 and plus you must have earned £18600 during the last 12 months.Fififadi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 7:42 amHi

Hi, thank you!archilochus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 8:46 amFifiadi - when did you apply? Would be really interested to know how you get on and good luck.
You should read Appendix 1.7.archilochus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 10:33 amThanks geoeng. Is there any guidance anywhere as to what exactly non salaried employment has to consist of? Mine is part salary and part non guaranteed bonus so I guess would count and meet the criteria?
Yes there is a section on non salaried employment, page 30.archilochus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 10:41 amThanks CR001, I’ve ready though this last night and couldn’t find anything on:
Unpaid leave specifically (it mentions Unpaid Parental, Maternity and Sick leave but not unpaid holiday)
Is there a section on Non Salaried employment qualifying criteria (I haven’t had a chance to check yet as not on my laptop)
TIA
5.5.6. Where average is referred to in calculations of non-salaried employment this refers to the
mean average. The calculation method for non-salaried employment will produce a
mean average. You do not need to do anything additional to calculate this.
5.5.7. Overtime, payments to cover travel time (e.g. for a care worker travelling between
appointments), commission-based pay and bonuses (which can include tips and
gratuities paid via a tronc scheme registered with HMRC) will be counted as income
from employment where they have been received in the relevant period(s) prior to the
date of application. Sometimes the person will receive the same amount of income from
overtime each month; sometimes overtime payments will vary, with different amounts (if
any) each month. All overtime in salaried employment will be calculated based on the
approach to income from non-salaried employment. This will be an annualised 6-month
average for the overtime which will be added to the level of the gross annual salary.
5.5.8. However, any future earnings that a person may earn by way of overtime, payments to
cover travel time, commission-based pay or bonuses will not count as income towards
the financial requirement. This exclusion also applies where an applicant’s partner seeks
to rely on a job offer in the UK that will start within three months of their return. There is
one exception to this: in respect of such a job offer in the UK, gross “on-target” earnings
which may be expected from satisfactory performance in the standard or core hours of
work can be included. This must be evidenced in the letter from the employer or signed
contract of employment which must be submitted.
There isn't anything on unpaid leave for holidays. If it's not a type of unpaid leave specified (i.e. maternity, paternity, adoption, parental, or sick leave), it will count as breaking the continuous employment period. Essentially just means if it occurred in the previous 6 months, then you can't apply under Category A and would have to apply under Category B (or another one).archilochus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 10:41 amUnpaid leave specifically (it mentions Unpaid Parental, Maternity and Sick leave but not unpaid holiday)
You can't use none-salaried person route even under category B which can only be used over bonuses only if you are earning varying bonuse apart of your basic salaried wages. If these bonuses are only in theory rather have actually yet earned then they won't be considered. Have you earned any bonus during the last 6 months? If so then how much?archilochus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 11:01 amThanks geoeng, confirms what seagul said earlier.
I’ll apply using non salaried, which part of my employment (my bonus) is made up of in any case.
Has anyone else used this method in my situation and got a positive outcome?
Only in case if you are a salaried person.
Lets take another look thoroughly. Give the wages figures without bonuses and also give the bonuses figures without basic pay during the last 12 months. Also what is your current annual basic wages?archilochus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 3:56 pmHi Seagul,
I have an annual bonus that has ranged from £0 to £20k in the past 6 years, which is paid every January.
My past 6 months basic salary (without any bonus) has been over £16k.
Is B an option? Thoroughly confused now!
Thanks
Great. Under category A you will be failed:archilochus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 6:20 pmHi Seagul,
Last 12 months:
Basic: c£36k
Bonus: c£8k
Thanks
