Employer letter for ILR
Use this concise employer confirmation to support an ILR application on a work route. Keep it factual and consistent with HR/payroll. Don’t quote thresholds — the applicant will verify eligibility separately.
What this letter should confirm
- Ongoing, genuine employment in the stated role.
- Core facts: title, start date, base salary, weekly hours, and work location(s).
- Optional: occupation code reference and a brief statement that the role continues to be required.
Good practice
- Use company letterhead or include full company details and a named HR/Manager contact.
- State base salary; avoid relying on allowances/bonuses unless explicitly needed for context.
- Ensure locations and hours match HR records and, where relevant, the last CoS.
What not to include
- Don’t give immigration advice or quote live thresholds.
- Don’t include the employee’s personal immigration history. Keep to employment facts.
