Check statement of changes below
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... ofchanges/
Please check first document "statement in changes HC-1039 March 2013"

In paragraph 245GF-SD, insert , after “B”,
“C. Where the applicant is not being paid the appropriate rate in Appendix J due to maternity, paternity or adoption leave:
(a)
Payslips must be:
(i)
the applicant’s payslip from the month immediately preceding the leave,
(ii) the applicant’s payslips for each month of the period of the leave,
(iii) as set out in A(a)(iii) above.
(b)
Bank or building society statements must be:
(i) the applicant’s statement from the month immediately preceding the leave,
(ii) the applicant’s statement for each month of the period of the leave,
(iii) as set out in A(b)(iii) above.”

But it's not for all cases of Tier 2, right? As you linked, it seems to be only for "Where the applicant is not being paid the appropriate rate in Appendix J due to maternity, paternity or adoption leave".

Thank you for the Update Mate! greatly appreciated. Must go through fully, to digest the whole thing.

Thanks Kevin for reconfirming my understanding. I'm also on tier 2 ICT and will be eligible in July 2013. Just going through all the documents and posting here so that it will help others as well.

Thank you. That's the spirit. Where does it say that you need 5 years Payslips and 5 Years Bank Statements.

From what I understand, A and B remains the same, and they are adding the C clause, which reads:

“C. Where the applicant is not being paid the appropriate rate in Appendix J due to maternity, paternity or adoption leave:
(a)
Payslips must be:
(i)
the applicant’s payslip from the month immediately preceding the leave,
(ii) the applicant’s payslips for each month of the period of the leave,
(iii) as set out in A(a)(iii) above.
(b)
Bank or building society statements must be:
(i) the applicant’s statement from the month immediately preceding the leave,
(ii) the applicant’s statement for each month of the period of the leave,
(iii) as set out in A(b)(iii) above.”

Cause C only applies "Where the applicant is not being paid the appropriate rate in Appendix J due to maternity, paternity or adoption leave".

Clauses A and B remain, so it seems we have to provide payslips and bank statements "dated no earlier than one calendar month before the date of the application". So, from what I understand, it's only one month (but I guess it's advisible to take 12 months).

50.
In paragraph 245GF-SD Specified documents, delete “A and B below;” and substitute, “A, B and C below;”
51.
In paragraph 245GF-SD, insert , after “B”,

OK . Thanks !
It is so confusing .
50. Says Delete "A and B below" . It should have been Just insert C after B.

Anyways , thought better to clearify it . Sorry , if caused any confusion.

Thank you for your prompt response. 5 year documents will come up where,
On Maternity Leave/on Paternity Leave/ Not paid the appropriate salary. Is My understanding is Correct?

That's right Kevin.

That must be a relief , for some members. Because when I saw the heading of your Post, I thought some New rule has come up for Tier 2 migrants after 06/04. It is not the case.

You are right, the wording on the document is a bit confusing. But it's much much better to clarify these things than not.

Glad it has been clarified. You have No Worries.

Does this not mean that payslips and bank statements are needed for the month prior to maternity/ paternity leave and for each month of the maternity/ paternity leave? Makes sense that you need to prove why you havent met the salary requirements for this reason... I am not getting the 5 years of payslips and bank statements from reading this...

You are right Physicskate, my understanding is that the statement just interprets that we will have to now show extra salary slip to cover all the period while one is on leave. Earlier it was required to show only one month salary slip just before start of the leave. Also it says delete B , does that mean there is no requirement to show the absence letter? I am early waiting for the release of new Set(0) form
