Morning all,
I read some post re 12 months employment and need some clarity please.
Details are:
Tier 1 granted - March 2013 - March 2016
Section 3c Period - March 2016 - December 2016
Tier 1 Extension Period - December 2016 - December 2018
questions
1. I had some 3 employees between April 2016 - December 2016 - can I claim for them? All are no longer employed, they were employed during the first grant, but left in April 2016, June 2016 and August 2018 respectively.
You can only claim points for job creation that was AFTER your extension i.e December 2016.
2. Does the 12 months rule apply to my application? That is, am I only allowed to claim for the last 12 months December 2017 - December 2018? or can i calim for any employment created during the extension period which is December 2016 - December 2018?
You have misunderstood the rule. Basically the rule does not apply in your case. The rule is for those whose ILR date is less than 12 months away from extension granted date. In that case they can claim for 12 months immediately before the date of ILR (as your extension was granted in Dec 2016 and your ILR date is Dec 2018 (assuming), this rule does not apply to you
3. Can i mix my employee points (these are employees during the tier 1 extension period) All 3 full time above 120 hours
employee 1 - 13 months
employee 2 - 8 months - April 18 - Nov 18
employee 3 - 4 months - Aug 18 - Nov 18
so employee 1 is job 1 on the online app
and employees 2 and 3 make up the role 2 as they function in the same role.
Is this alowed since employee 3, did not replace employee 2 but rather was employed while employee 2 was still employed and both remain
As you fall under the transitional arrangement you can have multiple jobs as long as you have equivalent of 2 FT jobs that is 104 weeks of FT job minimum of 30 hours a week. I know the online form does not cater for the transitional arrangements but you still should list your employees as three different jobs or employees. Dont combine employee 2 and 3 as the caseworker may only take 120 hours max and diregard the rest then. (I have researched the forum and this is what moderators advised also, as I myself in the same position and this is my personal opinion that you should list your employees as three different employees and three different jobs - if 2 employees did the same kind of job you should still list them as separate employees for example sales assisstant 1, sales assisstant 2, rather than combining the employees. Plus how can you combine Full time employees? Combining employees is for part time jobs if I am correct)
(As I said I am in the same boat but my answer relies on my personal opinion and a search of old threads on this forum)
On the online application form, one must provide details for 2 job roles, so i have added employee 1 as one job and employees 2 and 3 as the job 2. There isnt really a way to just add them as 3 employees and indicate the various months as per the guidance that allows for pre transiitional arrgangements where you could have 1 for 24 months, 4 for 6 months each etc.
So am i okay to state them as job 1 = employee 1 and job 2 = employees 2 and 3
Apologies if I had asked some of the questions below in an old post. I just got really concerned when I read the posts last night becuase if i can only claim for the 12 months then for employee 1 i have probably lost the months between March 2017 - December 2017
Thank you in advance for your responses.
