uk settlement - financial requirement

[darren1971]

For hourly paid employed is the income calculation done on the average paid into my personal account.

 

For example my last 6 months paid into my account: 2890,1890,700,2302,600,1676 = making an average of 1676 a month, which would be enough to meet the financial requirement?

 

'Where the person is in non-salaried employment – the level of gross annual employment income relied upon in the application will be the annual equivalent of the person’s average gross monthly income from non-salaried employment in the 6 months prior to the date of application (where that employment was held throughout that period).'

I will answer.

 

You haven't said, but I assume from what you have said that you come under Category A: With current employer for 6 months or more –  person residing in the UK.

 

(There I go, making an assumption! But if questioners don't give full information that's what we have to do. If I'm wrong, then say which category you do come under.)

Quote

5.1.3. Non-salaried employment includes that paid at an hourly or other rate (and the number and/or pattern of hours required to be worked may vary..............

 

5.1.4. The only difference in Category A between salaried and non-salaried employment is how gross annual salary or employment income is calculated...............

 

Where the person is in non-salaried employment – the level of gross annual employment income relied upon in the application will be the annual equivalent of the person’s average gross monthly income from non-salaried employment in the 6 months prior to the date of application (where that employment was held throughout that period). 
 
To calculate this annualised average for non-salaried employment in Category A the following calculation should be used: 
 (Total gross income from employment held throughout the 6 month period, divided by 6) multiplied by 12 = Income from non-salaried employment that can be counted towards the financial requirement.

 

You can accept this, or not and instead yet again argue that you are right and everyone else is wrong; I really don't care.
