Tier 1 Entrepreneur Extension - Questions/Help

[Loky1359]

URGENT FRIENDS PLS HELP

Hi,

I'm applying for Tier 1 Entrepreneur Extension and 2 of my staff & both of them have their name different on their birth certificate. It seems like they have got married and changed their surnames. However, they don't have anything to prove their name change. My friend is suggesting to fill a self signed Poll Deed (ideally to be signed in front of a solicitor).

How to deal with this situation? and what would be the right thing to do?

Thanks in advance for people who respond. It will be a true help.

Documents that can be used as documentary evidence for a change of name include:

Marriage Certificate
Civil Partnership Certificate
Decree Absolute Certificate
Adoption Certificate
Death Certificate

Do they have UK passports ?

Don't they have passports ?
Any official documents with their new surnames ?
Do they have their NI certificates ? What is the name on them ?

Hearty thanks both for your superfast responce.

They may have some sort or correspondence from HMRC. Can it be helpful?
But they both are such lazy cows and it is impossible to get anything from them.
Don't you think Poll Deed is any good?
I have their driving Licence with their present name. Will that be any good?

[zimba]

No it will not be acceptable
The rules do not care that your employees are lazy. How did you check their 'right to work' when you hired them ???

What correspondence from HMRC is that ? Does it have their NI number ?
It is your responsibility to have collect and check the right documents at the time of hiring.
If you have an official document with their birth names and the NI number, then you can still show that it is the same person and the Birth certificate should be acceptable.

If they have changed their names after marriage, then another option can be used.
The GRO in the UK can provide certified copies of marriage certificates. Just get them to order these or order the same on their behalf.

It should mostly be ok. Send in all the documents with a note explain why the name is different and that it is the same person.

Hi everyone,

I have a member of staff who get £22,500 per annum (which makes her gross pay as £1875/month). I believe rules says the hourly pay have to mentioned. She is in a 40 hour contract. How to show this in the application.

she works 160 hours a month and it equates to £11.71875 per hour. eventhough it is true, it looks bit dodgy on the wage slip.

Am I allowed to use her contract to prove she works on salaried basis and is it acceptable?

if not what can be the solution?

[Loky1359]

Thanks Marcnath

Is there any other way to be 100% certain about this?

Thanks Marcnath

Well, you meet the requirements if you have created the job for a settled worked. As long as you can show it is one and the same person, I can't see why it would not be accepted.

You can never be 100% sure since CW are also human and get things mixed up.

But if you get rejected, it will almost certainly be accepted on AR.

One thing you can do to strengthen your case is to update your payroll and send an updated document showing that you have taken action to correct a mistake you made by using a name for which there was no proof.

You are a Gem Marcnath. Thanks again.

Just to give an example,

In the Payroll her name is Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Hanson (is what she have on her birth certificate)

she got married to John Taylor and became Elizabeth Taylor.

So Birth certificate and marriage certificate should be ok to prove who she is right?

Hi All,

Bit urgent as I'm dropping the application tomorrow.

I have a member of staff who is salaried for 22500£ per annum and contracted to 40 hours a week.

Her wageslip dont have hourly rate on it. It just says Basic £1875 gross on it.

How can I claim her as fulltime staff. Can I provide her employment contract? or any other ideas pls.

Please help.

The one document that it will prove that the person is the same for employment purposes is NI. That is essentially what HMRC uses to link the person and the insurance contributions. So, as long as you can show the same NI number before and after the name change, you should be ok. All other documents are good and additional support but NI is the most definitive.

There are two things that show the full time.
1) In your FPS, there is often something like "Hours Worked ( A, B, C, D, E ) D - 30 hrs or more". You always inform HMRC one of those 5 letters and D indicates >30 hrs, so full time.
2. The more important one and only one really needed - in the job creation table, you indicate the hourly rate. The CW simply divides the monthly pay by the hourly rate you have specified to check that it meets the full time hours per week or month.
