Earlier this year my employer changed its name from X Home Group to X Home Association. We also have a new logo but apart from those two things everything is the same.

I looked into the technical changes for employment and it mentioned change of name or rebranding. I went to HR about it, who supposedly looked into it and said it was not a problem, no one needed to do anything. I'm fast losing confidence in our HR department due to other difficulties..

My work permit says X Home Group, but the letters I get from HR will say X Home Association. Is this going to cause a problem at the PEO??????????

My ILR appointment is for the 1st of September. I'm now worried about THIS!

Thanking you in advance for any advice!

Can you get a letter from your employer confirming the name change, date of change, whilst stating that your job title and description remain the same?

i had similar problem. when i joined the company it was called X and after a year from I joined them they changed their name to Y. Initially X had their own HR department and payslips used to come from them. but after they changed name to Y the HR was over taken by mother company Z. the result.
Pay slips come from company name Z, while in the bank reference they still show up as company X (3 yrs after they changed the company name to Y). but in reality i work for company Y which is neither mentioned in payslips nor in salary refernece in bank account.

all i did was asked my HR to include a letter stating this

" so and so works for Y who was formally known as X which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Z"

simples.
I had my ILR granted last month and there were no questions of whatsoever regarding that.

hope this helps.

Thank you all.

Baldude - in my case it would be company Z that had made the alteration to their name. Would this make it a different case i wonder...

I will ask HR to add a line in the letter explaining their name change.

better safe than sorry!

Thanks again
