Employment History
Hi All,
Hoping to send off application in Feb but I'm having some problems with the Form 80. My hubby and I have had a lot of jobs since leaving school. We are both in our mid/late 30s and in our younger days had tons of different jobs most of which we cant remember any dates/address - most businesses probably don't even exist anymore or have moved.
I wrote to the inland revenue for help with our employment history but they only keep 6 years of records. Does anyone have any advice or experience of this problem and how did you overcome it??
I have a letter from the inland revenue which shows I have tried to get my full employment history - should I include this with the application??
Hope you can help!

Re: Employment History
Thanks Buzzy Bee. I'm worried that if they ask for more info I just wont be able to give it to them. If the inland revenue dont know the dates and the firms no longer exist it could get to a stalemate situation.
I'm fine for the past 10 years or so so hopefully they will accept this.
Cheers, Janet

Re: Employment History
You should be fine, just fill in the missing details with ??? I think they are mainly looking for dubious employment history, questionable careers (eg in secret service, foreign armies etc)

Hi Sam,
Might be being a bit dim here but when you say self declaration and get that certified what does that entail.
Sorry if this is a stupid question!

Re: Employment History
I'm trying to find my employment history from the 1980's.
Did you phone the National Insurance Contributions office and get what you wanted? If so what phone number did you manage to contact them on? I've tried looking at the website but can't see what number to contact them on.
Thanks

Re: Employment History
A self declaration is a detailed job description of previous employment where you can no longer obtain a reference. You need to write it up in your own words detailing working hours and pay.the amount of time you where employed for,
what your job entailed starting from the minute you arrive to the last minute of the day even down to if you had to clean equipment etc. Include brand names of products used, even try to remember the amount of employees the company had and what amount of profit the company may have earned in a year. The declaration must start with:
I ..........(insert name) of.......(insert full address) do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows:-
at the end of the description write
The reason I am making this declaration is because the company no longer exists due to the fact it (liquidation, taken over).
and finaly you must write
And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the Statutory Declarations act 1835
Signature......................... Print..................
Declared at....................................
This (day)................... date of (month)..........................2007
Before me..............................
You have to take this to a JP or solicitor who witnesse's your signing of the declaration and also he will get you to read out a declaration that they have to get you to do by law. He will then fill in his signature and stamp.
Hope this info helps

Re: Employment History
Thanks Sam for your reply.
To cheshiremark - I've just had the bumf through from the National Insurance Contributions office - It had all the places of employment and the tax year but no start and end dates so I will just have to do my best - at least they will be in the right chronological order. Will post the phone number in a few mins after I find it!
