Pogracious:
Elders, please am in a dilemma and need your advise.
I work for a company where I got a permanent role as a student.I finished my study and I continued with the work but am expecting my visa from UKVI.Old BRP expires Jan 31 and for whatever reason my employer has not made my payslip available to me Though the contract has clause of termination at brp. shouldn't I be paid for my toil this January especially with all the hassles and high transport of Yuletide season.Pls advise me what to do because the only thing that is coming to my mind is 28days notice if I am leaving and I have not written that I am leaving they are the ones that say I must get new brp to continue work.Help sirs/mas

Why are you not entitled to maternity pay? Are you sure? You should at least be entitled to statutory maternity pay

geekseventplace:
I dont know where you driving at. I know people who have operated this for the past 10yrs. They usually get an employment solicitor to draft the agreement required. Its more or less like an Au-pair program which allows people legally earn below minimum wage. I would have posted the link but i dont want nairaland axe but below is a snapshot of what the average earning of aupairs look like - feel free to verify if you want. There are people who are actually looking for opportunities like this, may seem exploitative on the outside but this is certainly not the intent. Plus i really cannot afford a full time nanny hence i am going for this. THe only reason i am not going via an aupair agencies is because the earliest they say they could get someone was in May but i want someone quicker.

Hello everyone, I have come for advice….again

I’m trying to rent a new apartment and part of the requirement is that I fill some forms providing my employer reference, previous landlord references, a guarantor etc etc including allowing the company keysafetv access to my account. Now I don’t have a problem with providing all the details,,,,, but allowing a company have access to my account and that of my guarantor(even though they said it’s “view only” gat all my alarm ringing.

Has anyone gone through this cos I’m already thinking maybe they don’t just want me to have the house. Ps.. I offered to generate the account statements but they refused

mizGene:
I have just applied for a tier 2 update.

For some reason, I didn't get the immigration ID check app invite like before, I had to book a physical appointment...Anyone know why? Or they just figured they are not making money through that?

No appointments available anytime within 3 weeks, the few available appointments were in crazy far places and also not free..so unfair. Why does one need to pay for an appointment slot after paying for visa?? Why not make the free slots available for all?

Also the IHS thing is really annoying. I have switched or updated Visas a couple of times, each time I had some months (3 to 5) leftover but they conveniently forget how to do proper accounting and bring a balance forward.. but if you owe the government one pound of tax or debt, they will come after you even 20years later with a hammer.
Also when you think about it, For those working in exempt organisations...why do they need to pay that IHS in the first place and then come back to claim a refund?? The home office has access to national databases, they have the sponsor licence number and this should be enough to let those ppl off but no, they want them to pay amd probably forget about claiming or if they switch visas in future, they won't meet the 6 months payslip criteria for claims..

I feel exploited sha sha especially because I needed this urgently and didn't have a choice and also because I have just haemorrhaged some hard earned cash..
All these students and people with families doing PSW and tier 2 processing....I can only imagine what they go through

Peerielass:

Peerielass:
Congratulations. How is Island life? Hope you’ve settled in?

Please can't one get a NHS job as a student, I have gotten 2 jobs now as a HCA but they keep saying they can't offer 20hrs, they can only do 23.5 for PT..

Nanidiiii:
Thank you but she is not sure if she needs to upload her certificate from her masters in the UK for her proof of english language, COS and her tuberculosis certificate from when she first moved to the UK. Please house for those that have switched from student visa or graduate visa to tier 2 what documents did you have to upload or if you uploaded any at all.

lavida001:
Experts in the house who knows About HMRC I have some question.

So, im trying to register with HMRC to check and see if the agency i work with actually remits my tax but i couldnt .

It keeps asking me for UK passport and DVLA approved license.

If anyone knows how to go about the process involved, please share your experience so we all learn.

dustydee:
Let me save this by quoting it. Dashed HMRC money when I was contracting until I realised after almost 3 years that I could have saved a lot more. To make matters worse, I paid the accounting firm thousands yearly for the priviledge.

This is gonna be long.
For over 2 days i slept on youtube looking for that one video that will explain to someone how uk NI(national insurance) and income tax is being taxed.

I noticed a lot of people on the thread dont really understand the arithmetic aspect of how the tax works. Even if there are calculators online to do the whole thing for you, i'm sure guys like me are on the thread who loves hand on deck calculations just to see exactly how the system works.

This is also good if you want to compare different countries tax and see which country u wanna settle in.

First, the tax bands are as follows, dont let this confuse you. It is my examples that will give you clearer understanding.

£0 - £12570 is 12570 and 0% (personal allowance)
£12571 - £50270 is 37699 and 20% (basic band)
£50271 - £150000 is 99729 and 40% (higer band)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We want to know what your net pay is after tax have been taken from your gross pay.
Your gross pay is your salary before tax.
Your net pay is your salary after tax.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE1
Your salary is £60000
First and foremost, you are entitled to personal allowance of £12570 and this will not be taxed.

60000
-12570
-------------
47430

This 47430 falls between band2 (37699) and band3 (99729)

What then happens is this.

37699 from your 47430 will be taxed at 20%. Which is 37699x0.2 is 7539.

When 37699 is taking from the 47430, you know it will remain 9731, now that 9731 will be taxed at 40%. That will be 9731x0.4 which is 3892.

Conclusively, it means if your salary is 60000, you will be taxed 11,431 being (3892+7539).






EXAMPLE2
Let us assume your salary is 52000.

First and foremost remove the 12570 that is not taxable.

52000
- 12570
--------------
39430


39430 falls in the range of (37699) and (99729), which are 20% and 40% respectively.

So, 37699 from your 39430 will be taxed at 20%. Which is 37699x0.2 is 7539.

Now, remember that when 37699 is taken from your 39430, it will remain 1731.
This 1731 will now be taxed at 40%.
So, 1731x0.4 is 692.

Conclusively, on your salary of 52000, you are taxed 8231 being (692+7539).







Example 3
Let us assume your salary is 25000
First and foremost, remove your 12570.

25000
- 12570
-------------
12430

Since 12430 falls on the personal allowance band. They'll just use the basic band. Which is 20%. 12430x0.2 is 2486.

Conclusively, your tax from 25000 is 2486.












Note i did some round up. This is not perfect. But near perfect.
Let me know if u find this useful. Then i'll do the one with NI included.

smartmiss:
Hello, are you in health care or another industry? Can i PM for some inquiries�

bigtt76:
You need to add him as your dependent on the new visa route you are on. Congratulations on the switch, please can I PM you on how you went about it?

dupyshoo:
I think you need to take your time and read the whole page. The "more than 20hrs concession was introduced during Covid and they are removing the concession from October 4th.

If it is what you said it is, can I ask you for the NHS concession for those waiting for visa but still working?

dupyshoo:
Just above the section you screenshot is what I posted where it was clearly written that "The concessions detailed in the ‘If you’re working for the NHS’ section will expire on 4 October 2022. This means that all concessions in the section you posted will expire on 4th October.

charles664:

Is there something I'm not getting right?

Timitempah:
Hi, congratulations on the visa.

I have also just got a COS for the H&C visa from my employer.. plan to apply soon. But I would like to know if I can use the immigration checker app instead of booking a date and also is priority service available for this visa route as I am in the UK currently.

Thanks

Timitempah:
Hi,
After going through some of your post, I think it’s advisable to use the super priority rather than the priority service option for a quicker decision on the visa.
I am switching my visa route from T4 to skilled worker (H&C) visa.

I would like to know if I can use the ID Checker app also for this visa route and how much did the super priority cost?

Thank you

ugoonuoha:
I haven't done biometrics yet, so hopefully no forfeit.
How long does it take with the new priority application? Say I start on Monday next week...when will I get the new BRP?
