Interesting salary issue; please help

[CoolestGuyC]

Hi folks,

Situation:
For Tier 1 new application, in past earnings section, for UK employer:
1. May 2008 and June 2008 Salary slip contains Net Salary as 2000.63 GBP.
2. May 2008 and June 2008 Bank account shows salary credit as 2000.43 GBP

So there is a mismatch of 0.20 GBP in the "Net Salary" amount on Salary slip and "Amount credited to bank" for the month of May 2008. (Same discrepency is there for June 2008).
Employer is aware of and admits this mistake hence he is also ready to write appropriate letter to accept this mistake.

Questions:
I know above is a very serious issue, which might lead to application rejection, but I am trying to minimise chances of rejection. I could think of following ideas and any help on other sort of ideas would be very helpful:

1. Submit bank statements and salary slips as they are, along with an letter from employer saying that "rest of GBP 0.20 will be credited in employees account in next month's salary."

2. Second option is to ask employer to credit my account with separate 0.20 GBP, write an explaination letter which says something like this:

For may 2008 his gross salary was xxxx GBP and net salary was 2000.63 GBP. This net salary was credited in two parts in his account: 2000.43 GBP on "Date1" and 0.20 GBP on "Date2".

This letter will write details which match Bank statement.

3. Another option is that I submit only an Employer letter with monthly salary details(instead of salary slips), which will show only my "Gross Salary" and also "Salary credited in emploeye's account". (along with date of transaction, etc. as per guidance notes).
However, I will not show Net Pay which I am getting. I will also NOT submit salary slips. (That is only Employer letter with all salary details and Bank statement is submitted).


I request all members to comment on above appraoches. If any body has faced above type of situation(very small discrepency in salary slips and bank statement) any comments will be helpful.

Any ideas for other type of appraoches to solve this problem are also welcome.

Thanks for reading,

Is it......? I can't think it is but then I've been in UK not for very long so I don't know....

I can easily change my pension contribution each month that would result in a different net amount from the previous month......

The company name appears on the bank statements, payslips plus a letter from the employer confirming your gross annual income should suffice.... or so I would think?

Would be interested to know if this isn't the case....

Hi jagacharaja,

Thanks for replying. Actually the difference in NOT between May and June "Net salary" amount.

The difference is between "Net Salary" value on May salary slip, and the "amount credited in bank" for month of May 2008. (and same discrepency for the month of June 2008).

Actually the difference in above two numbers(for both months) is only 0.20 GBP.

Any ideas for solving this issue would be helpful.

Oh, sorry. I didn't read your original post properly.

I think you've covered all the bases that can be covered.... I would hope a letter from employer should be fine.... I mean... it's just 20 pence

HO rounds up the salary figures. for eample if you put say your gross salary to be 21000.20 in a tier-1 points calculator it will round it up to 21000. try it yourself. so i would say you wouldnt really need to worry about 0.20p.


Hope this helps

Hi,

I think option 2 is the best bet.

2. Second option is to ask employer to credit my account with separate 0.20 GBP, write an explaination letter which says something like this:

This letter will write details which match Bank statement.
