Default Work Contracts/Experience

Hi

My OH qualified as a Plumber in March and has been working as a Plumber ever since. His Employer is the one that put him through his apprenticeship etc but are really dragging their heels with his new contract and pay rise, they originally said he would have it in April, then July and now Sept!

When we finally put our app in for FSW Visa will this go against the experience he has? By the time we apply he will have 2 years experience but because they still haven't issued his new contract it will look as if he only has 18months experience!

So basically, do they go by the date on the contract or would they accept a letter from the employer confirming that he has been working as a plumber since March?

I know you only need a year but to get enough points we need the extra year....

Hope that makes sense
Thanks

Many workers work without a contract and pay rises are not relevant to experience. If the employer is paying him to work, this should be good enough. Keep the payslips, a letter from the employer would also be useful to have.

Yep, we have all of his payslips and his employer has already said he will do a reference letter. Was just concerned because he worked for the employer as a Laborer for a year before starting his apprenticeship and wondered whether they would believe the Plumbing experience without a change in contract or pay?

He has his certificate from March, but as above i wasn't sure if this would be enough to prove that he has actually been working as a plumber? They never even changed his contract to say Apprentice Plumber so he is still currently under his Laborer contract.....

Many thanks for both of your replies.

Ask them to specify dates and duties. That should be enough.
