Employer Letter FLR (M)

Hi Folks!

We are just getting the last of our paperwork in order for my wifes visa. We are qualifying financially through my own salary at it is over 18600.

I am just in discussion with the my HR manager to get supporting paperwork for evidence of this. I have a rough list of what I need them to provide. Can any of you confirm if this list is sufficient?

Letter from Employer stating Job Title, Contract Type, Date I started working there, The salary I am paid.

Letter from Employer confirming electronic prints of payslips are authentic.

You only actually need 1 letter from the employer, as everything can be put into the same letter.

So the letter would need to contain:
Mandatory requirements:
- current employment and salary
- length of employment
- length of time earning current salary
- type of employment
Plus:
- verification of each payslip if the payslips are issued electronically (pay date, pay period, gross pay, net pay, date of bank deposit, explanation for any discrepancies between payslip date/amount and bank deposit date/amount).

If payslips are issued as hard copies, you do not need the payslip verification.

They are electronic payslips that I have printed out. This will be quite a long letter!

Two questions off the back of this:

Will they need to verify every payslip individually confirming these numbers for every payslip, or can one sentence confirm them all?

Can it be a computer signature? Due to the pandemic we need to work from home.

I always recommend that each payslip is detailed in the letter, because we have seen visas refused in the past because one payslip date was slightly different to the bank deposit date, or the amount on one payslip was different to the amount paid into the bank... and there was no explanation provided.

Can it be a computer signature? Due to the pandemic we need to work from home.

If it's due to Covid, then an electronic signature should be okay. If the employer can note this in the letter, that will help too.

There is some leeway being allowed with the documents due to Covid at the moment:
