If your passport gets stamped in and out, then that should suffice. You can use tickets of when you last travelled out and back in to the UK.

Start date was more than 28 days

The applicant start date was more than 28 days after the first entry to the UK post the entry clearance. This was due to an existing contractual notice he was serving. If the employer hasn't informed the home office about it. What are implication for the applicant applying for his ILR? If there is one, how can this be mitigated?

ILR is based on the visa issue date NOT starting date.

What if the delay in start date is more than 28 days from the visa start date and the same wasn't notified during that time. Will that create a problem in the ILR application?

It was an advised by an immigration expert. Since the applicant's initial delay in joining date for more than 28 days when the visa started wasn't reported by the employer, he suggested that it could affect the application. Although this seems to be fault of the employer rather than the applicant.

Such advice has no basis in the immigration rules.
