Tier 2 unpaid leave

Post by drcalm » Tue Dec 03, 2013 4:49 pm

Hi,

I'm on Tier 2 visa and wish to take one month of unpaid leave, is that possible?
Can someone please refer me to the UKBA info page about it? I've been looking for it for ages and cannot find anything.

Thanks a lot!

I've found this guide-

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

page 39, clause 223.

the wording, however, is really vague (it used to be different)

223. If the reduction in salary is due to the migrant being absent from work without pay for one calendar month or more during any 12 month period from 1 January to 31 December for any reason other than for those listed in paragraph 222 (whether over a single period, or multiple periods), you cannot continue to sponsor them and you must report this to us using your SMS account.

Not sure if it says I can take 1 month of unpaid leave?

the rules on salary reduction in paras 219-225 of the document you cited are quite clear.
