Employment history surely relates to paid work (only) as the notes refer to tax-related information.

Note employment is not a mandatory condition or requirement for naturalisation.

If you have Indefinite Leave to Remain, they can't deny you for being unemployed.

I don't think so..I guess, the only thing they will look for good character requirement.i.e any illegal working etc..

It's too early to commnet, as we haven't seen any rejections

What do you mean? Have you heard of any refusals simply based on gaps in employment?
I mean employment gaps during periods when an applicant had the right to work full time.

"Voluntary work" is not "employment"!!!

Is that so??? Because my understanding is that one does not have to be in employment in order to qualify for naturalisation. Can you please explain how this panned out in the "many cases" i.e. did the Home Office clearly indicate the that applications were being refused because the applicants were unemployed???

Going by that premise, house-wives or house-husbands could never have applied for (and been granted) naturalisation!!!
