ILR due next week and payslip error

[sonub4ualt]

Hi All,

I am due to apply for ILR PEO Croydon in the first week of Aug'13. I have a peculiar problem regarding my payslips. My first Tier 1 1st extension was valid until mid May'13 and my HR suspended my pay due to my visa expiry, although I extended my visa in Feb'13 valid until Feb'15 and duly submitted a copy to the HR, which was lost by HR.

I got paid until Mid May'13 for which I have payslip and for Jun'13 I had a manual payslip from the HR where they did not deduct the tax or NI for Jun'13 telling me that they will withhold some amount for tax calculations in July'13 for reinstatement of pay.

I got payslip for July'13 and it mentions only about previous arrears in the earning column split into basic arrears, allowance etc. it does not specifically gives you which month the arrears were for.

Most importantly the July payslip has got pay elements from half May'13, full June'13 and full July'13 pay details, although I have manual payslip for Jun'13.

Now the July payslip has all the calculations for taxes and NI, whereas only the Jun'13 does not have any calculations, but I got paid in Jun'13, which is reflecting in the deductions column of July payslip as Advance.

I am really confused as I have booked at Croydon and I cannot explain the situation to the caseworker as there is no interaction with case worker.

I thought I would get a letter from employer for detailing gross amount and net amount paid every month, and I am short of time.

Would the case worker have any idea about the situation. I understand I will mention everything in my covering letter, but I don't want the case worker handing me additional checks letter and asking me to wait for their call, as I am paying for me and my wife.

Example:
Basic pay 1000 net 800 every month

May'13 Gross 500 net 400

(Manual payslip)June '13 Gross of June 1000 + arrears of Gross May'13 500 (1500)= net 900 without NI or tax contributions

July'13 Gross of July 1000+Gross of June arrears 1000+Gross of May arrears 500 (2500)= Net 1100 after tax and NI for (May+Jun+Jul)

This is very complicated.

Kindly advice what would be best, I think it is nearly impossible to chase the HR as they work offsite.

should I mention salary break up for all 12 months myself detailing gross and net pays, but I cannot calculate the taxes and NI.

or shall I skip these three months and give previous 12 months out of 15 for easy calculations (I think they want to make sure I am employed while applying and might want to check latest month's payslip)

Any suggestions please.

It is not a requirement that you should be paid every single month, and not a requirement that every single month must have tax and ni deducted. For example you can have £10000 in one payslip and none in another. doesnt matter. However you must meet the income for the band you are claiming for.

All you need to make sure is whatever net income is shown in payslip is seen on the corresponding bank statement. Make a table of the 12 months you are claiming for. You will be fine. You can write a covering letter explaining this if you want to. I am sure you will be taking P60 as well.

My personal experience at Croydon is that they are there to give you ILR and will not try to catch you out. They will try there best to help you if your case fulfills all other requirements. If the case workers has any question he will ask you straight away and you can explain. Be calm and just give them what they ask for.
