Spouse Visa ILR on SET(M)

I apologise if I posted this in a wrong topic. Admin please move it relevant topic please?

“I’ll apply for ILR (SET M) through spouse visa route soon.
Dates on payslips different than the date money goes in bank. Everything is legit, its just the way employer does it, issue payslips 6 days before to make sure hours etc are correct and than pay after 6 days.

Record with HMRC is as per date on payslips (6 days before actual pay date. Will it be an issue presenting these payslips to Home Office or should I get covering letter from employer?”

It will not be a problem. There is a general understanding of what you outlined i.e. that wages accounts are prepared before remittances are made into the employee accounts and even after authorization of remittance may take some days to go through the financial system to individual employee accounts. Importance is attached to the accuracy of figures or each component stated on the payslips and corresponds to what record is held by HMRC.

Do note that the letter from employer should meet or state all that is required not just income details.

Would following suffice the requirement?

Employer Reference will state following details.
Full Name
Date of birth
Current address
Passport number
NI number
Employee number
Employment start date etc.

Earning statement in form of letter will state:
Full Name
Date of birth
Account where money paid into
Pay process date
Pay date
Gross pay
Income tax deduction
NI deduction
Net pay
Payment reference.

Please share your feedback whether should we include anything else? Or I’ll appreciate some kind of format?

Kind RRegards

A letter from the employer(s) who issued the payslips at paragraph 2(a) confirming:
• the person's employment and gross annual salary
• the length of their employment
• the period over which they have been or were paid the level of salary relied
upon in the application
• the type of employment (permanent, fixed-term contract or agency)
• Personal bank statements corresponding to the same period(s) as the payslips
at paragraph 2(a), showing that the salary has been paid into an account in the
name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly
• where the person is either a director or employee (or both) of a limited
company based in the UK, evidence that the company is not a type specified in
paragraph 9(a). This can include the latest Annual Return filed at Companies
House

You need employer letter instead reference letter. See below:

Thanks. If I just send employer letter and earning statement in which all income breakdown for past six months. And not send payslips? It will be okay.

I had done that in one of my previous applications.

You might have scaled through before without it but will recommend that you include payslips for the present application.

Not sure as how it was accepted previously but without payslips the criteria won't be met.

? Is employer able to issue revised payslips for previous months with correct details if there were any mistakes in the payslips.? Like tax code, address or pay date were not correct on the payslips? No changes in the wages.

Yes whilst updating to HMRC. Once a moon discrepancies can be pardoned in contrast of repetitive/major ones.

Thanks for your reply. Can you suggest better wording than below which employer can use in 'Employment Letter' or below is okay? Employer can use as per my request.

Much appreciated.




"I can confirm that the electronic payslips issued to him via email are correct and his wages for each month over the past six months of employment are attached on separate sheet. We run payroll on 06th of every month and pay his wages into his nominated (NatWest) account on 12th of each month"

Thank you all very much for your responses, really appreciate it.

I have one more question if you, anyone can shed some light on this please.

As we are applying for SET(M) now, system generated a list of documents which includes Employer Letter, and it says employer should state gross annual income while I am NON-SALARIED, hourly paid employee. How would employer can state a certain figure for hourly rate employees?

Thanks for your reply. I have an idea. What if I ask them to write following on the letter, its a home office formula for NON-SALARIED employees as we all know.

“Mr. PSB’s Gross Annual Income for year 2020 – 2021 will be around £25,741.44. As he is hourly paid we have calculated his annual income by considering his total gross income from last 6 month period, divided by 6 and multiplied by 12. (i.e. 12870.72 / 6 = 2145.12 x 12 = 25,741.44)”

What do you think?

Or if employer doesn’t agree with it. I can ask them to write an estimated income which they had done in the past. So if according to Home Office formula gross annual salary is £25,741.44 and if Employer writes approx £26,000. Do you think it will be acceptable or should these figure match?

Employer has agreed to use this formula in the letter Thanks for your input. Already applied online now waiting for biometric appointment. Should I upload and submit all supporting documents now or wait for the appointment?
