Tier 1 Ent Employee Issue

[dontworry]

Hi Members,
Thanks everyone for wonderful help providing through website, I am applying for my Extension in June 2017.
I have got 2 full time employees and one Part time apprentice on Saturday.
My Problem is I had an employee from 15th May 2016, he stopped coming to office on 17th of August. During the time he earned £4291, i could only find a replacement person by 1st of September. We didn't have any one in that for 2 weeks. Will that be a problem ?

Please help .

Many Thanks in Advance
Mathew

A single job need not consist of 12 consecutive months (for example it could exist for 6 months in one year and 6 months the following year)

Correctly said by Zimba88. The only thing I will add to this is to check the post transitional arrangement (employee requirements for visas approved after 6 April 2014) on the Tier 1 ent policy guidance as I think you have secured your visa after 6 April 2014.

The transitional arrangements are irrelevant here. A job period does not need to be continuous

Thanks for replies,
I think i need to explain my situation little more detailed. I Run a small IT support Business for Small business and Home Users.

Employee 1 From 2014 as Manager.
Employee 2 from Mid May 2016 as Receptionist, but the guy stopped coming on 17th August. Found a replacement person on 1st of September. so technically i didn't have any for that 2 weeks period.

2nd Job I am hoping I could Claim 12 months from 1st June 2016 to 1st June 2017 but now it is incomplete for 2 weeks. Monthly 170 Hours.

Hope this helps

Many Thanks

You cannot. You should let the employee work until the end of June 2017 to cover the two weeks

Thanks Zimba,

Can i increase the no of working hours to cover the two weeks?. My visa expires on june 2nd.

Any other possible option?
Thanks again

[zimba]

No, hours worked over 30 will be ignored. When did you apply for your visa initially ??

[dontworry]

issued on 1st of June 2014.

I said when did you APPLY ??!!!

[dontworry]

ahh sorry, i applied on 15-05-14.

[zimba]

In your case two jobs each min lasted for 12 months (not continuously though), otherwise your extension will be refused

Thanks Zimba,

Do i need to clarify this in my cover letter ?

Clarify what ??

[dontworry]

Clarifying the 2 weeks non employment due to the employ decided not to work any longer with company. Or is it stupid Idea.
