60 days rule under Tier 2 employment change

Post by samdav7 » Mon Oct 22, 2018 2:23 am

Is the 60 days gap (affecting ILR when due) between switching to another employer under Tier 2 General remain the same? I mean has the rule changed on this??

Hey,
Thanks!
Does it mean it doesn’t matter how many days gap you have between switching employer!
Also one more question: how long does it take for HO to notify me if I left employment. Will I have to also notify the HO about my last working date or does the HR does it?
