Hi David,
What I meant by my question was which category under the Financial Requirement are you thinking of applying under.
Your specific employment conditions make a significant difference to the category and the documentation needed to be submitted.
In principle UKVI do allow overtime etc
As always there's a number of "if's and but's" for you to validate. Plenty of different employment cases around.
Anyway here's their stated starting point general requirements:-
As there's some detail you must validate to be sure, I'd strongly suggest reviewing the Financial Requirement to see exactly how it sits with your own employment circumstances.Overtime, commission-based pay and bonuses (which can include tips and gratuities paid via a tronc scheme registered with HMRC) will be counted as income from employment where they have been received in the 6 or 12 months prior to the date of application as applicable. Sometimes the person will receive the same amount of income from overtime each month; sometimes overtime payments will vary, with different amounts (if any) each month. All overtime in salaried employment will be calculated based on the approach to income from non-salaried employment. This will be an annualised 6-month average for the overtime which will be added to the level of the gross annual salary.
Also you need to be 100% sure of how your employer will present their supporting letter.
We've seen a number of members here let down by the employer statements.
Hope it gives you a good starting point![]()
