More questions:

2) My last employer paid holiday pay (for outstanding leaves) as full and final settlement. I believe tax was paid on this amount. Can I use the Holiday pay towards the gross salary calculation or should I leave it out.

3) Legal status whilst application is under consideration? Tier 1 expiry is 03/12/12. I will be applying via post prior to that. Seeing the average time taken for approval is longer than a month, what will my status be after 03/12/12? Am I allowed to work until a decision is reached?

3) Past earnings clarification - Should I show Gross and Net salary both or is Gross before tax only since that's the legal requirement.

Sr. No / Employer / Month / Gross Salary / (Net salary?)

1. Is this reflected in a payslip?
2. If you make a valid in-time application your leave will remain extant even after the expiry date under section 3c.
3. Show where? The gross income is considered under PBS eligibility criteria.

Hi Sushdmehta,

1) Yes, it's entered as Holiday Pay and PAYE and NI have been deducted.
2) That helps. Thanks
3) I am submitting a salary calculation outlining 12 months income earned via two employers. Wanted to check if I should include the Gross - Tax = Net salary paid or if just the gross is enough. since the PBS guidelines only state the Gross then I will leave out the rest.

Thanks for your help.

cheers,

Nirav

1. Then you can include it in your previous earnings, no problem.
3. Use the format you posted above (including net salary).
