Previous Employer does not have complete absence details

[fastertabla]

Hi

I have my ILR appointment next month. For the absence letter, my previous employer have provided a letter but it's missing few dates because it's not available in their system as leave. For a period of 5 days, I don't have them in the absence letter. I am not sure whether this is an issue in the systems of previous employer. How can I handle this case? If I mention this in cover letter, how will this be treated? I heard from one of my Friends that if I could not provide evidence for number of days less than 30, normally case worker accepts. Can someone kindly advice on this?

Thanks

A caseworker can give discretion if you have absences of less than 30 days per residence year and you do not have a letter from the employer. That said, my previous employer was not able to give me a letter stating any of my absences while I worked for them as they were acquired and changed HR systems. I have instead asked them for a letter explaining why it is not possible and they've provided me with all of my payslips. I've also created a chart listing all absences and under which employer and have written a cover letter. I will also supply bank statements for the time that I worked for my previous employer. I spoke with a lawyer on the subject for other reasons but explained what I had done and he gave me a massive thumbs up and said I would be fine (that said, I have a total of 38 absences from the UK over a 20 month period and when I break into a residence year, comes to 28 in one "year" and 10 in the next "year")

Thanks for the response. Your case seems to be stronger. In my case, i am not sure how the data is missing. It can be my fault as well in not properly entering or system issue.I am scared that it should not go against me.

Thanks

If there is a reason for not including those 5 days, write why and prove that you were paid as normal. Either get this in writing from your employer or write it in your cover letter explaining why. Then use payslips and bank records to prove you were paid for these absences.

Yes I have to put this clearly in cover letter and provide bank statements/payrolls. From the docs I have read, evidence missing less than 30 days is not a problem as long as we honestly provide the facts we aware. Thanks for your response.
