Gap between jobs and out of country
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2023 10:32 pm
Dear all,
Please could I check with you regarding my situation? I am on track to apply for my ILR in Sept 2023. However, in the past 5 years, I have changed three employers and have been on three different skilled worker or Tier 2 visa.
After ending my first job, I had a 5 weeks gap whilst waiting to start my second job and I also travelled out of the country for 5 days during this time.
Then, after serving my notice for the second job, I had an another 4 weeks gap and I travelled back home for 3.5 weeks during this time before starting my current job.
However, I was offered the jobs and had agreed the start date with both places so the employer was aware of the gap and happy with a later start date.
Therefore, my questions are as below please:
Will this affect my application as I was technically unemployed during those time?
How should I mention the absences in my letter from employers?
Do I need to mention them in my letters from employer?
I am not too sure how to show these period of absences are “paid AL”.
Many thanks in advance
