Employee leaving- Effects on extension

[sm12]

An employee is leaving at the end of the month and I do not want to employ someone else till my visa status is confirmed.
If I do succeed in getting extension, will I have to remploy someone immediately or soon after in the same position?

I would suggest you to employee someone as soon. Do not break your employee period.

....and also, in addition to the above, you need to show that you'll continue to employ for the next 2 yrs as its a requirement for ILR. You having an employee on your payroll during extension might convince the case worker on the genuineness test on employment

Not necessarily. You simply need to have at least two position for 12 months during your extension before your ILR.

Thank you everyone for your help.
What happens if there is a gap of a few months before someone new joins? Can it still count as one position?

You are claiming points for a position that existed for 12 months (continuous or not) not an employee. A gap is not a problem as long as your position existed for 12 months
