Tier 2 Guidance Important

Post by jediforce » Thu Aug 02, 2012 10:01 pm

193. "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and your sponsor carry the risk of having no statutory excuse against a civil penalty if the BRP card is incorrect or withdrawn by us.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."

Hi,

Could somebody assist me if the the last sentence from the guidance above applies to the following situation?

Assume I receive my Tier 2 BRP recently for a new employer today. However, my employment with my current employer under Tier 2 will continue for a few more weeks. The start date of my new job will be after the cease of my current employment. Is it still ok for me to continue work for my current employer in these next few weeks?
