Dear guys
i will be joining an existing business that has 4 full time employees. 1,2,3,4.
if i join the business and create post 5 and 6.
if after 2 months employee 1 and 2 leave, will i need to fill their gap? or just protect job 5 and 6 to be elegible for ILR?
thanks
alfie

Yes. You must increase the net positions by two. So if 1 and 2 leave, you did not increase the net positions by two.

so you mean the business must have 6 full time employees for one year?

Yes but the 12 months does not need to be continuous. So 1 and 2 may leave but you must replace them. So technically 6 positions must exist for 12 months over the period you are claiming points for.

thanks for your reply,
how do home office calculate net increase?
is it on the day i join the business? so just for argument sake if employee 1 and 2 leave this month and i join and then rejoin after i join the business will they count in my favour?
thanks

From the day you join a business as a director. The rules require you to send evidence of all positions/employees for a whole YEAR before you joined the business. They will look to see if you genuinely increased the net positions by two or not

dear Zimba
thanks for your clarification. i have checked today and they have 4 full time employees. i will bring in 2 UK citizens.
are the nationalities, passport of employees 1,2,3,4 relevant to my job creation?
if employee 1 leaves does the replacement need to be EU or UK citizen?
thanks

They need to be settled in the UK. So they could be British, EEA citizens or people with ILR.

The ones you are claiming points for should be all settled but it does not matter if the other employees are not
