ILR skilled worker- need help

Hello,

I have been employed for around 40 days in a new role as a skilled worker with the same employer for whom I previously served as a sole representative. Given my change in role within the same company, I am preparing the documents I need to submit for ILR as I have reached the qualifying period but came across some uncertainties:
  • Employment Letter Content: Should the HR letter from my employer only cover my current role as a skilled worker, or should it also detail my previous position as a sole representative? Additionally, should the letter confirm that there have been no unauthorised absences for the current role or does it need to mention throughout tenure with the company for example( or does it have to mention both roles )?
  • Payslip Details: My payslip as a skilled worker currently shows only my base salary, as I am paid an annual base salary. For ILR, is this sufficient, or does it need to show a breakdown of hours worked and an hourly wage on the payslip?
  • P60 Requirement: Do I need to submit P60 along with my other documents?
I've checked the sponsor letter guide on this forum but am still unclear how it applies to my specific situation. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

You do NOT need any letter regarding your previous position.
All you need to know about the sponsor letter for Skilled Worker route

Only the last payslip is enough, no other details are needed. P60 is not needed!

Thanks Zimba for your response. So for the letter should it mention that no unauthorised absence for current employment? or does it need to mention "for current and previous" role? thanks alot

Thank you again for your assistance. I have one final query regarding my absence history. There are four stamps missing for a foreign country, as I entered using e-gates during those trips. Since there has been a mixture of e-gate and passport control entries for this specific country, should I mention in my reason for absence that I entered/exited using e-gates when I traveled to that country? Thanks

What matters to the UKVI is the date of exit and subsequent re-entry to the UK. If they have that on their systems (through exit checks, airline data, etc), they will not be bothered to look at any other country's stamps. They are after counting the dates of absence from the UK and the details of your travels are mostly irrelevant to them
