Dear moderates
Please help am am looking to apply for accelerated route with 3 years period on 10 jobs created
But my question is i have 10 employees from November but unfortunately my accountant didnt add them so i had to back date them from april backwords to november by i have paid them full wages without furlough in cash up till now isit okay
Or will hO have a problem please advice
And from now on what should i do as the employees want cash payment only 7 of them
Only HO can answer whether they will have a problem - and they will only tell you that after they process your application.
But, in general, paying in cash in itself is not a violation of the immigration rules.
However, it appears you have not submitted their RTI from April to November. That also means you have probably not paid NI, PAYE and pension for those periods. Again, by itself none of this is violation of the immigration rules but it will likely make HO question the genuineness.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.
