Verifying Income: Employment

To verify your PAYE income you'll need to enter your income details. In order for our referencing team to verify this, you will need to provide evidence of this income by connecting via Open Banking or uploading one of the following documents:

• Payslips
• Employment contract 
• Offer letter
• We also cover maternity, paternity and sick leave

Please note: If you are employed by an international employer, we may need to see evidence that your employment will continue during your stay in the UK. This can be with contract conditions or a reference letter. To save time verifying your income, please upload this alongside your chosen evidence.

Please see the criteria for these documents below:

Payslips:

• If you are paid monthly: 3 most recent months' consecutive payslips.
• If you are paid weekly: 4 most recent weeks' consecutive payslips.
  
• If you are paid bi-weekly: 3 most recent months' consecutive payslips.

The following requirements must be presented on the payslips in order for us to verify your income.

• Details of your employer.
• The date the payslip was issued and the period of pay.
• Your name should be clearly stated.

If you are on a temporary contract, your contract must include your end date or employment duration.
