Accelerate Settelment

[tuhc]

Hello Guys, Question for Guru's.

1) 5 full time job for 2 years.

2) 10 part time for 2 years.

Does in both scenarios we qualify for accelerate settlement ?

As i believe that as long as business giving job for 15600 hours in 3 years period to any number of employees, should qualify for accelerate Settlement please correct me if i am wrong.

Any advice much appreciated!

[rahulsingh1]

Yes 15600 hours of employment creation within 3 years (Not 2 years as you mentioned) in any combination. With minimum 30 hours per week per employee.(or the hours will not be considered part of full time employment.)

Hi Rahul thanks for your reply, sorry another one

Is it any minimum hourly rate requirement for ukba or do we hire employees on national minimum wages ?

Thanks in advance !

[rahulsingh1]

There is nothing mentioned about minimum rates on guidance.

And hence national minimum wages should be fine.

You can also hire full time apprentices for 1/3rd the national minimum wage I am told. Apprentices are also full time jobs in definition.

As it mention in policy guideline that minimum 30 hours a week consider as one full time employment. but if a employee work 40 hours a week, does the extra 10 hours a week counted towards completing of 15600 hours ?

[rahulsingh1]

No it wont count -

This is explicitly mentioned in Part 6A or Appendix A i think(dont remember where I read exactly).
That per employee, anything more than 30 hours cannot be counted towards another employment creation time.

You will need to show actual 10 calendar years worth of man hours employment.

So you should have a minimum of 120 payslips to . And minimum of 10 P11s' to submit, during extension/settlement.

So its mean the total payslip goes to 240, and P11 goes to 22, if we show 5 full time employee for last 2 years.

Hi Rahulsingh,

Very clearly stated. I have the same understanding as you.
One thing: What if we employ 1 person in the first year for 24 months but his/her employment no longer exists in the third year/at the time of extension. Although this way we have satisfied the requirement of 24 months job creation but would the fact that employment terminated after 24 months meet the requirement of Visa extension?

[tuhc]

Hi Ent, I believe as long as you completed the 3120 hours during any period in 3 years time, it would not be a problem during extension.

[Legal83]

yes you qualify.

[tuhc]

Hi Rahul, its mention in Appendix A

51. The jobs must comply with all relevant UK legislation including, but not limited to, the national Minimum Wage and the Working Time Directive.

Does it mean that we could hire person below national wage as well ?

[educators]

(or the hours will not be considered part of full time employment.

You may use part time employment and add up to make it 30 hours. Please see below on page 17 of policy guidance which says:

The working hours of two part-time workers can be combined to add up to 30 hours a week or more and form the equivalent of one full-time post.

it is illegal in UK to hire any person for employment for less than minimum wage imposed... xx

hi
i am bit confused about the total number of hours. So if we employee some1 and he works 60 hours a week for a year lets say(which is like hiring 2 people as minimum requirement is 30 hours) it still will be 1 job created ?. Because when we go for extension we have to mention total number of hours right and total number of hours will be 3120 hours in that case. Doesn't it fulfill the requirement if not could you please provide me the link where i can read that in detail.
Regards

[rahulsingh1]

No it is not allowed- And i have mentioned that in a message above. So i dont understand why you have asked the same question again.

even if the same employee works 45 or 60 hrs per week. The employee will be counted as just ONE job created for a week.

cannot compete with you in maths.

But i think even if you have 5 emp for 2 years each.

The count will still remain 120 pay slips and 10 p11s'.

So its mean the total payslip goes to 240, and P11 goes to 22, if we show 5 full time employee for last 2 years.

For extension application....it says....

established a new business or businesses that has/have created the EQUIVALENT of at least two new full-time jobs for persons settled in the UK;

The continuous residence period is 3 years if:

your business has created at least 10 new full-time jobs for settled people;



I may be wrong but i think there is a difference between the two...for extension.... equivalent of 2 full time post is required...so we have to complete hours...in this there is a quotient of EQUIVALENT....

but in accelerated route actual 10 new full time jobs are required...so we cannot have 5 employees for two years...we have to have 10 employees...

i maybe wrong but this is my understanding...please need advise and opinions...thanks[/u]

I do have similar doubt, well spotted !. I have also confusion on following point -

Let's say - Company is established in Ang. 2012 with 1 director ->
Director's VISA got approved in July 2013,

Question is - Does Employee joined in between Aug 2012 - July 2013 will be considered or not ?

what my understanding says is that the employment created after entering into the category will be counted....

is there any email or number or any way we can confirm all this with ukba....

Here we go guys, sorted the the Confusion of accelerated settlement under 10 jobs.

To reward success, an amendment is being made to enable Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Migrants to qualify for accelerated settlement after 3 years (rather than the usual 5 years). Applicants will qualify if they have created:–

the equivalent of 10 full-time jobs; or

– at least £5 million in income from business activity within a 3 year period.

Direct link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary


So its mean 5 full time employees for two years would be fine for accelerated settlement.

[rahulsingh1]

great! I had read this but did not notice the connection of equivalent of X jobs and later the X being noted as 10 in the next paragrpah.

[Kevin2014]

Hi all,

I have 2 years 3 months remaining on initial phase of Tier 1 Entrepreneur. I am looking forward to employ an apprentice for a period of 2 years. Here I have 2 questions?

1. Can I employ an apprentice to fulfill my extension criteria?
2. Did anyone get visa already by employing apprentice?

Your help will be really appreciated

Thanks,
Kev

The link does NOT seems to be working..

Is this issue very clear now?

Would like to check if we are hiring 5 employees for minimum hours and wages for 2 years, will be considered for accelerated settlement?

Many thanks in advance.
