Past Employer Letter for Absence

[Ramana66]

Hello Forum Members,

I have received a letter from my previous employer as below for the absences. Does this looks okay based on the rules updated on UKBA site today. (I know the new forms are yet to be published and may or may not provide more clarity).

=============
Date: xx -xx-xxxx

To Whom So Ever It may Be concerned

I can confirm following details regarding

Employees Name: ABCD
Date of Joining: xx-xx-xxxx
Date of Leaving: xx-xx-xxxx
Nature of Position Held: XYZ
Reason for leaving: Other Work
Periods of Annual Leave:


The information above has been given in good faith, with care being taken to ensure accuracy. The Company does not accept liability for errors or omissions.

It is the Company’s policy to provide only the information given above by way of reference.

Yours sincerely

Name of the HR Person
Job Title
===========
What they did is after Periods of Annual Leave sentence is copy pasting the screen shots from the attendance software instead of writing individual dates for the holidays. I guess this should be okay as it shown my name as employee on each screen shot image of the calender for all the years I worked with them.

My query is the statement says Periods of Annual Leave rather Periods of PAID annual leave. Will this be a problem?

Many thanks for your help and guidance (I may be getting paranoid with all the rule changes and reading too much between the lines)

This looks O.K to me. But can You please be patient till the week end,before I comment further. As long as your Annual Leave is with in your Annual leave Entitlement, as per Your Employment Contract,it should be acceptable to the CW. Normally Annual Leave is paid,only if it exceeds the annual Limit, No-Pay leave deductions ,comes into operation.

Thanks a lot Kevin for your immediate reply. Yes, all my holidays are within the limits (not more than 20 days a year as against eligible 25).

These continuous changes in rules are are keeping me on nerves like many others. Despite paying all taxes and not taking any benefits, UKBA is not allowing us to have a peaceful life and sleep, which is nothing short of torture for being Legal and High Value Immigrant!!

You can say it again. UKBA is hunting us ruthlessly like Cow Boys.We are running away like the Indians. What happened to your Electoral Registration summary? Did you contact your councils?

[Ramana66]

Yes, I contacted my council last week for Electoral Register Summary and they said they will send the letter in a weeks time.

Glad they have responded to your request. My Life In The UK Test knowledge is not bad. It has worked for you.

Hi,

Just to clarify, was this because you were on Work Permit /Tier 2, and that in the span of 5 years worked for 2 differrent employers?

I have a similar situation, and wanted to know if I need documents from previous employer. However, in my case year 1 was work permit with employer 1 and years 2-5 are Tier 2 with employer 2.


Many Thanks.

It is good if you could get a letter from Employer 1 regarding your absences from UK. Employer 2 of course,you will not have problems,I hope.

[Ramana66]

No, I am on T1 (G) since I arrived in UK in 2008. Yes, I did worked with different employers since I came.

To answer your question, yes you need to get a letter from your previous employer for the holidays and business related travel outside UK.
