Hello Members,
I am in this position to get letter from my employer but bit concerned about my absences from UK as how should these be mentioned in letter, could you please advise;
During this 5 years (Tier 2) time, I was away only 3 times as,
2012 - 1 weeks - to see my family
2013 - 3 weeks - to see my family
2015 - 2 weeks - to see my family
No trip was related to business.
Also how should I pick Exit date in this case as during 1 trip I left UK 03/03/2013 and entered to home country on 04/03/2013, at heathrow no exit stamp is marked while leave the country?
Really appreciate your help!!!!!!!!!1
Thanks

Exit date is the date you left the UK, but the day you leave is not counted in the absence total which is only WHOLE days out that are counted.
Absence - annual holiday entitlement.

Thank you for replying;
Could you please explain in more details as it completely dumped me
On the basis of my scenario which I explained earlier how does Questions 6.2 and 6.3 are related to me?
6.2 Evidence of all work-related absences (including paid annual leave) is required from those
applying under: (Mine is Tier 2 General)
6.3 What evidence has been provided to support the reasons for all absences from the UK?
Letter(s) from employer(s) detailing reasons for work-related absences including periods of
paid annual leave from the UK?
Does it mean letter from my employer should details when I exited and entered in UK and reason ( to meet family) and mentioned during all these absences I was on paid annual holidays???
OR
I don't need any proof to show outside UK absences ??
Please explain , I would be really thankful.
Thanks

You simply need to get a letter from your employer that says all you absences during your employment period with them were inline with your annual paid leave. They can confirm the period/dates of such absences but they do not need to mention exit/enter days as that not relevant to your employer
You need to enter such dates on the form personally based on your travel information and the entry stamps in your passports

Thank you,
Does it matter if employer add these detail in same letter with other stuff (SOC Code , my Salary , foreseeable future details etc) or there should be 2 different letters?
Thanks
