urgent Tier 2 -clarification

[sinha]

194. It is recommended that you do not commence employment until you have received your
biometric residence permit (BRP). However, on the basis of your approval letter, if you
and your sponsor agree to commence the employment before you have your BRP both
you and your sponsor carry the risk of having no statutory excuse against a civil penalty if
the BRP card is incorrect or withdrawn by us. You can continue working for your previous
sponsor until the start date on your new Certificate of Sponsorship, provided your previous
leave has not expired

You can continue working for your previous sponsor until the start date on your new Certificate of Sponsorship, provided your previous leave has not expired.

Plain and simple English!

Dear Sushdmehta

Thank you very much for your reply and I had bit confusion on the start date because
1. one date is mentioned is june 15th on cos by the employer
2. other part is whether we are allowed to work with present employer until we get decison this is the dilemma

[geriatrix]

If you read 194 carefully, you'll note that it refers to a scenario where an application has been approved.

When a decision has not been reached on a valid, in-time application, one can continue to work for the current employer until the day he receives an approval, provided his current leave has not expired / will not expire until such day.

The next plausible question may be - how can I just stop working one fine day? I have notice period to serve!!
The answer to that, IMHO, is that one should identify an appropriate "start of employment" date with the new employer taking into account the processing lead times and your obligations with the current employer. The immigration rules make no concession / discretion for any lack of planning.

sponsor until the start date on your new Certificate of Sponsorship...

regarding the above line can also refer to employer mentioning the start date as start date will be mentioned in cos when employer submit to home office thaton the cos irrespective of the decision and one of my friedn resigned the present job based on that line
