I have benefited many times from your advice and i am in need of another urgent query regarding absences letter from employer for ILR application .

1. Is the letter compulsory ? even if the absences is well within 180 days limit and under allowable anuual holidays ? Yes

2. if the answer to above question is 'yes' then does the employer need to give a letter explaining the holiday dates ? eg. I visited 2 european countries using my annual holidays in 2016 in this instance what should an employer do ?



If the 2 visits were at 2 different time last year, then yes you should explain them separately. If the 2 visits were together, you can simply state you were on a vacation\holiday. There is no need to explain the countries visited during one holiday.

Letter Format I used for my PEO:

TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN

This is to confirm that Mr. xxxxx (employee number xxxx) began permanent employment with us on (date) as (designation) and remains a permanent employee of ours today.
During his employment with us, he went on Annual leaves on the following occasions.

Dates | Number of days out of UK | Reason

From xxx | xxx | xxxxx
To xxxx

While on Annual Leave, he was still on UK payroll and was paying NI and tax in the UK. His salary was deposited in his UK bank account.
Should you require any further information please feel free to contact this office on +xxxxxxxxx

Yours faithfully

xxxxxx
UK Human Resources

Please help ! This is urgent as I have my appointment in 2 weeks time.

Thanks in Advance
