Hi ALL,

This website seem a life saver

I will be completing 5 years as a work permit holder in Jan 2012.

I am a Maintenance Manager

On my work permit its states I will be getting 26K annually

but due to economic downturn I was unable to get enough hours and hence i earned around 21k (P60 proves this figure)

I have all other documents required for ILR.

Will you able to advice me.

This is only going to be problem if it does not match these specific circumstances:

Temporary reduction in working hours

If you reduce your working hours and your salary decreases as a result, you must normally apply to us for permission to change your employment. However, you will not need to apply to us if:

you are currently a work permit holder or a Tier 2 worker; and
you are continuing to work in the same job, with reduced working hours; and
the reduced working hours are part of a company-wide policy to avoid redundancies; and
your employer is not treating migrant workers more favourably than resident workers; and
any reduction in your salary is proportionate to the reduction in your hours and is not more than 30 per cent; and
the arrangements will be in place for no more than 1 year.

Thanks for advice. Also can you please tell me if it's ok to back date salary for final year which is 2011-2012. Please reply.
