Full time and part time workers and hours confusion

[Zafar1947]

Hi
This query might have been discussed in past but i hope someone will reply and help as i am applying in a few days.

I was awarded T-1 entrepreneur before April 2014.

Extension is due now, following is what i want to know please:
i) 1 full time worker for 10 months , hours (about) 1300 - Job1
ii) 1 part time worker for 14 months , hours (about) 1400 -Job2
iii) 1 part time worker for 5 months, hours (about) 150 - job 2
iv) 1 part time worker for 5 months , hours (about) 1000 - Job 3
v) 1 part time worker for 3 months, hours (about) 100 - Job 4
All workers are 30 or less than 30 hours per week.

Now, if i add all jobs month wise and consider full time:
10 + 7 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 1.5 = 23.5 (months)
But if i add hours;
1300+ 1400+150+1000+100 = 3950 hours

Am i eligible to claim points for job creation?
Should i just mention hours or do i need to mention months ?


Any help will be appreciated.

Note : I am assuming 10 months part time is 5 months full time. Hence months are divided by 2 when i am totaling. I could be wrong so thats why posting it like this to get a clear picture.

We are still in feb 2017 and you were awarded visa before April 2017 ?? Do you mean 2014 ?

I was awarded before April 2014 - thought i had corrected

A request from all senior members to reply please - zimba and other senior members

Thanks Zimba,

So in simple terms;
3950/30 = 131 weeks full time

Total requirement is full time 2 years that means 104 weeks full time.

So i have more than 104 and i fulfil the requirement.

These jobs did not run parallel but as i got visa before April 2014, so i still fulfill the job requirements.

I hope that is true ???

[Zafar1947]

And all the jobs ( job 1 to job 4) are different job roles and some months jobs ran parallel and some were not running parallel.

According to
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... ur-v18.pdf

Page 106

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), providing it is the same job
(different jobs that have existed for less then 12 months cannot be combined
together to make up a 12 month period). The jobs need not exist at the date of
application, provided they have existed for 12 months.

If i have created different jobs, that means i cannot combine hours !!!!!

Can someone please guide?

[zimba]

Under transitional arrangements you can combine jobs that have not existed for 12 months

[Zafar1947]

Thank you Zimba

Under transitional arrangements you can combine jobs that have not existed for 12 months

Can you please share where you got this information from?

My situation is :
Job 1:
10 months full time - 30 hours per week
+
5 Months Part time - 24 Hours per week
Do i fulfill the 12 month requirement for first job?

Job 2:
14 months Part time - 24 hours per week
+
5 months Part time -24 Hours per week
+
5 months Part time - 24 Hours per week

Do i fulfill the 12 month requirement for 2nd job?


Zimba, this might be a simple thing - but i am stuck with it and its not getting clear. HO rules state one thing, accountants say one thing and solicitors say one thing.

Need your advice on it not in general -but particular to what i have mentioned in my post , please

[Zafar1947]

A request to all the members, if anyone has any suggestion as to whether i am eligible or not?

[zimba]

You seem to have EQUIVALENT of 24 months but I cannot give you any definite answer, this is NOT CLEAR in the rules or guide.

[Zafar1947]

Thank you Zimba

Its a bit clear now.
