Regarding Overtime Calculation under Category B Salaried Employment - Spouse Visa Financial Requirements.
Under the Two Part calculation mentioned in the guidance:
-Does overtime earned in the month preceding the application count towards the second part of the calculation (the Actual Amount Of Gross Income Recieved in he 12 months prior to the application) ?
-If so is the actual amount of overtime added to the total or using the annualized 6 months average method (overtime in 6 months *6 /12) ??
The guidance states:
The guidance also states:So, under Category B, the assessment of the financial requirement is based on:
(1) The gross annual salary or income from salaried or non-salaried employment at the
date of application.
This source can be combined with Category C: non-employment
income, Category D: cash savings and Category E: pension; and
(2) The actual amount of gross income received from any salaried or non-salaried
employment in the 12 months prior to the application.
This can be combined with the
actual gross income received from Category C: non-employment income and
Category E: pension over the same 12-month period. Category D: cash savings
cannot be used under (2)..
Overtime, 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 6 or 12 months prior to the date of
application as applicable. 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.
