Re: £18,600 : Salaried or Non-Salaried ? Formula/Calculation

[Nazzz]

I have read and re-read the "AnnexFM 1.7 Financial Requirements", but in my case, I cannot find the CALCULATION to use to come up with a gross figure (that the form requires) :

My situation is below :
(1) Same job for more than 6 months.
(2) Hourly paid, flexible working, permanent job
(3) DIFFERENT pay every WEEK

My questions are :
(1) Do I need to use the 6 months worth of pay or 12 months worth of pay ?
You can use 6 months worth if you have earned enough...
(2) What formula shall I use in my case ?
Good news is non salaried employment is slightly more flexible (I used it to sponsor my husband...) the calculation is (gross earnings for 6 months divided by 6) x 12 so you can afford to have variable pay as long as it adds up to 18,600+ in the final sum
(3) Will they take the lowest week's payslip into account ? (I hope not!)
No, but it may help to have a page of your earnings for 26 weeks showing gross pay and calculation at the end. I did this to evidence that it was indeed nonsalaried and still exceeding the requirement.
(4) I cannot find any section in the form, which has a tickbox to select 'Salaried or Non-Salaried'. How do I inform them that mine is a non-salaried case ??
As above

So basically, if you have been with the same employer/agency for 6 months AND earned an average of £9300+ in the 6 months prior to application then you can go for Cat A which is less paperwork... otherwise you need to look at working it out over 12 months...

I am currently in a non-salaried employment, as you know, my pay differs from week to week and recently, I received a pay rise which means I get paid £364 per week (not including overtime). Now, I started working for this company in november 23rd. So, my 26 week period ends on 23rd May of this year. I won't have earned the £9300 by then, because i received my pay increase a little later. But, I will make that amount in exactly 2 weeks after 26 week period, assuming i received no overtime. Now, my question is, how will this affect me? because I talked to one of my local solicitors and he informed that I just make the application 2 weeks after 23rd May and it will be fine. Is this true?

Thank you in advance.

Sully_06, for the purpose of salaried earnings, the lowest wage slip gross, in the last six months will be used in the calculation.

I'll get straight to the point.

I want to add in that I worked at previous, part time job for 2 months (ended in August) prior to joining my current one. I made just over £1000 from that. Can that be counted towards it in order to make up the difference? This is assuming what my solicitor has said is not correct, because, I have my doubts.
