When making their Skilled Worker visa application, the employee is required to provide evidence that they have at least £1,270 in an account in their name for the 28 days before the application. If the employee cannot meet this requirement, or wishes to avoid the hassle of providing evidence of this with the application, the sponsor can tick a box on the CoS to confirm that it certifies the employee’s maintenance.
If you tick this box, your organisation is confirming that you will maintain and accommodate the employee (and any dependants), up to the level of at least £1,270 up to the end of the first month of sponsorship/employment, if required and we suggest that documentation is put in place confirming this and can assist you in preparing this.
