It is up to you how you want to do it. It is always best to send a little more than required but not too much.

You need 10 jobs that existed for at least 12 months each. I would suggest make 1 PDF file for each JOB (as long you can keep it below 6MB).
Jobs is what matters not the employees.
Keep all RTI FPS and wage slips relevant to that JOB in that PDF.

Keep all employees passport copies/settled status in 1 PDF.

This is just a suggestion. It is your application so you know best how you want to present it. The more organised it is the better.

Hi Team,

ILR - Job creation filling

Point 1:

Job x filled by emolyee y with different hourly rate during the employment period..

My understanding is that the required information on the online application is for only the 12 months qualified period and not the full period of employment/job filling... is that correct?
The period of claim yes

Job X creation date: will be the date the job been created.
Employee Y start date : will be the first month for the 12 month qualified period (and not the actual start working day)
Job start date will be the actual start date. Employee start date will be the actual start date. However, the evidence for period of claim will be the one you will submit i.e. RTI FPS and wage slips for period of claim. CW will go by the evidence

Employee Y end date : will be the end of the 12th month qualified period ( and not the actual end wirking day)
It will be the actual end date

Even if employee Y has been working for the company for two years, just to make it more simple to the CW, I entend to only list the details for a 12 months, is that acceptable?
Yes. But if a job was existed earlier and an employee start date is earlier, you need to list actual real dates. It is up to you which period you want to claim. You can submit relevant evidence only

The point is, few employees have different hourly rate during their working period, and also few jobs have more than one employee (full time and part time) and I'm trying to not list any unnecessary data, so just have 12 months data for each job, which will be covered by 12 payslip.
The online form only lets you add ONE wage rate per period of claim. However, you are required to list all wage rates during the period of claim. So lets say if wage rate was decreased or increased during the last 12 months, you can list the current wage rate in the online form but clarify the other wage rates during period of claim in the cover letter

Point 2:

If the have emloyee x working from Jan 2019 to May 2019 with hourly rate = £10, and then from June 2019 to Jan 2020 with hourly rate = £12.
You can list them as two separate period of claims also yes OR follow as stated above

I'm planning to file the form as below:

Job X
Employee 1 :
Employee name: Y
Start date: Jan 2019
End date: May 2019
Hourly rate: £10

Employee 2 :
Employee name: Y
Start date: June 2019
End date: Jan 2020
Hourly rate: £12

In this way, I have shown the change of the hourly rate (even it's the same employee) for the required 12 months period, are this the best way?

Could you please advice on the two points above.

Thanks in advance.

The form is asking about the actual details not the claim period details. Your evidence will be the relevant documents you submit. So you can clarify your period of claim in the cover letter and only submit relevant documents. Do not get confused in both things.

For example a job was created in 2015, employee A started working in 2015. But period of claim is only 2019-2020. So you will mention the actual dates in the form but your period of claim can be clarified in the cover letter and submit relevant documents only.

Option 2. However clarify any fluctuations in wage rates in cover letter.

Hi Team,

I'm qualified to submit my application on the 7th Dec 2020 (based on the date the visa granted (4th Jan 2018) minus 28 days), am I right? Yes

December FPS can be submitted early in Dec (due to Christmas and new year) as per HMRC guidance, so I intend to submit my ILR application on the 7th December 2020, and then book the biometric once I found a slot available, and submit all my documents apart from the outstanding payslips and FPS for Dec,
and then couple of days before the Biometric appointment to submit the outstanding FPS to HMRC for December as well as the payslips for December, so this pan is OK?
Fine

I intend to attach the following:

Application:

No need to print. Submitted online form and checklist will be available to download and keep for your own records only
- Police Registration Certificate
- Copy of my valid passport
- Copy of my expired passport
- Copy of my BRP
- Consent form
- Director roles and responsibility, and business summary.

- Life in the UK PASS Ref number (already filled on the online application)
- Exempt from Language test, as I already been granted Tier 1 visa used my exam cert in 2017, and the exam still on the approved list (Trinity ISE B1)

Investment:

- Director's Loan agreement(s), signed.
- Letter from the accountant showing how the £200k been invested and spent, source of fund and use of fund.
- Management account up to 31st October 2020 confirming the investment listed on the account, and showing the business is active.

Business Activities:
- Companies house certificate.
- Current appointment report (CAR), new.
- Filing history print out (it should be part of CAR already, I'm not sure if we need to add it again separately??)
No need again
- Latest business bank account (for Nov 2020)

Business Genuinity prove:
- Sample of the clients invoices for 2020 ( x10)
- Professional Indemnity insurance certificate
- Public Liability & Employer Insurance certificate.
- Business premises photos (entrance, desks)
- Organisation chart and business summary.

Job creation:
- FPS document ( covering between Jan 2018 and Dec 2020, 3 years, around 300 pages in total)
- Letter from the accountant confirming the creation of the 10 Jobs.
- 10 X Pdf file (one for each job) includes: organisation chart, job filling summary cover all the job period, payslips x12, Employee (s) ID, job description (A4 page for each job).


Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the above, and also highlight if any missing document required to be added.

Thanks in advance.

Looks good to me but go through the above guidance. It clearly mentions the requirements. Follow the guidance as it is.

I followed (4) as above for my own extension.

However the requirements are stated in the Tier 1 guidance.

Invoices are not needed. For genuineness entrepreneur test, HO may request evidence if needed on a later stage though.

You need to submit a latest UK bank statement to prove your company has a UK bank account which falls under business activity requirement.

Accounts fall under investment requirements.
