Hi, I hope someone can lend their time to my questions. I'm currently living and working in Japan. I am salaried(?) and contracted to earn £1586 (exchange rate as of today) every month. I have 4 months of payslips stating this.
The thing is, because the company I work for is probably the worst in the developed world in regards to how it treats its employees; this month, I was late once and so have been docked £158 for the 5th payslip. This will cause payslip to effectively be under the income threshold. Q1: Has that screwed up everything and now I have to start again..?
Relatively related to my confusion is how the company pays me/all the different figures that are on a single payslip in the first place. The average contracted £1586 figure a month does not include the travel reimbursment (anywhere from £60-120 a month) or overtime. The total figure per month (including travel and overtime) is also included on the payslip. Q2: Which would the immigration officer look at? Because the total figure is the figure I receive in my bank account every month, so correlates but varies slightly month to month
I'm not entirely sure if I'm salaried or non-salaried because of this. But what makes me think I'm salaried is that no matter how many days I've worked (some months have 28-31 days) the base salary (£1586) stays the same and there's no mention of an hourly wage in the contract. Each payslip has a 'What you've earned so far, this year.' figure. If I were to choose non-salaried and do the calculation I'd be over the income threshold at £21000. But I doubt I fall under that, unfortunately.
I truly wonder how accurately a translator and the immigration officer his or herself would be able to decipher it. But, the a letter from the employer would probably just state that £1586.
If you've followed thus far thank you and hope you can at least answer the two questions. Thank you.
