I left my job the very morning I received my Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa. You are not supposed to work for other companies while you're on Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa. If you have to leave the job without any notice, so be it! Your stay in the country is way more important than adhering to the terms of some employment contract.

There was no need for him to give notice. Once he informs the employer of his VIsa change, the employer would have terminated the employment.
But, as the others have pointed out, he has now violated the terms of his T1E visa. If it is discovered, it could affect the extension - but difficult to say.

Thnx gurus,
I have conveyed ur responses to him. He said he informed his employer straight away but the manager said u have to complete the one month notice. He then printed his resignation and submitted it on same day but completed his notice as he was not aware.
Now he is very much worried about that whether he should apply for extension or not??

What is his other option ?

It is not known if they will discover this. It is one month, it was not fraudulent. So, go for the extension and hope for the best.

Thnx guys,
Thts what I suggested him go for it and hope for best. It was not deliberate and intentional rather it was lack of knowledge and awareness. Finger crossed

[seasky]

Been a while since my extension but do not remeber any question about being employed elsewhere etc

It was not deliberate, just ensure you present your case in line with the rule and ignore a months notice

I think stop worrying about it at the moment is the best option. But if it comes up as a problem just say that they ran the payroll late as the company most probably would not have the record dated 5 years back

Do not take any advice that asks you to give false statements. Especially based on assumptions that you have no idea of.
HMRC would definitely have records well beyond 5 years and in all probability so would the company. This is not the age of paper records.
However, I agree that you should not be worrying about it now. It was the responsibility of the company to have terminated your employment once you had informed them of the expiry of the visa under which you were given employment. Obviously if you had records of both your resignation letter and the employers instruction that you need to serve the notice period, it would make for a strong case. But again, I doubt if this "violation" on its own will cause any problems.
