Tier 2 General - ILR, query regarding pay slip

[ariff21]

Hi experts,

I have completed my Tier 2 General 5 years and eligible to apply for ILR, regarding the pay slip, my company provides my pay in arrear, ie, My Nov 2018 salary I will get in Jan 2019 ( however in the payslip, payment date as Jan 2019), and Dec 2018 salary in Feb 2019, is that a problem while applying for ILR?

As per the rules it says pay slip should not be more than 28 days older while applying.

Please advise,

I do not think it will cause any issue until you are paid every month and your employer provides all the supporting documents.

Thanks Sasin.

One more thing , as per my soc code 2136, my cos states as 34k per annum and my contract with my company is 36k per annum.

Does the company need to mention this in company letter? Any suggestions pls

Hi Ariff,
it is sponsor responsibility to update SMS system and I hope they must have been updated it(normally they do). Please check with your HR, as I understand most of the companies mention the correct rate and all the necessary details in their support letter for ILR. HMRC has all the details about salaries and taxes paid by a employer and UKBA (because of the shared system) can access that. But please talk to your HR . When are you applying?

Hi Ariff,

Have you applied for your ILR yet. Can you please let us know your experience as i am in a similar situation wrt payslips. Are you providing a letter from the employer stating the reason for the payment in arrears.
Experts/Seniors since the monthly pay will be on the income statement of HMRC with no pay for a month, followed by the pay in arrears, is it advisable that the employee provide a letter. The payslips clearly mention the tax month, which are consecutive.

Also a point to note the gross salary paid till now on the payslip is more than the required salary for ILR.

Appreciate your opinions on how to approach this issue.
