Mejo na confuse ako sa "Salary and Benefits (per your company’s guidelines)".

Nakuha ko kasi mga employment refference ko, based dun sa requirements ng ACS dati wala naman salary dapat naka indicate kung di ako nag kakamali. Grabe pa naman maka awa ko sakanila para makuha exact details hehe.

Acceptable po ba yung wala ng compensation na employment refferences?

Magiging negative outcome Zedc kapag di ka nag include ng payment reference. This is from my own experience.

Try mo kumuha ng copy ng BIR2316 or SSS Contribution history. BIR2316 try mo hingi sa previous employer mo or sa https://www.foi.gov.ph/.
Yung sa SSS, log in ka lang sa website tapos kuhanin mo screenshot ng contribution payment. Lagay mo sa MS Word screenshot tapos lagyan mo ng notes. Di kasi clear yung SSS contribution history. PM me if you need more details. Pero ito mga ginamit ko. Positive outcome naman

Hi, on this, SSS contributions + BIR 2316 would suffice as well?

Yes, it would. BIR2316 at SSS contribution lang din binigay ko

manifestingvisagrant · June 11

Hi po!

Question lang po, regarding sa employment history. What if po ang company ay nagsara na (previous employer) pero po yung HR staff po ay nacocontact pa kung sakali magrequest ng COE. Possible po ba yun? Hindi po ba ako magkakaproblema if yun ang isubmit ko?

Thank you!

I mean yung employment reference lang. Pero kumpleto ako ng ITR at payslips. Yung employment refference lang walang naka lagay na salary since hindi naman required as per guideline dati.

So yung lang po tanong ko, ty sir.

Hi all. MagAsk lang ako again regarding sa result ng Skills Assessment.
So I submitted my requirements para makapagpaassess na sa bagong ACS system for 3 ANZSCO Codes. Nakuha ko na ung results ko in just about a week or so and eto ung sabi sa letter:

QUESTION:
Tama ba na yung maccredit lang sakin is yung years after Sep 21, 2021? Medyo nalito lang ako sa nilagay nila dyan na not closely related daw pero ung sa baba naman e "work experiences have been assessed to be closely related". Medyo nalito lang ako pero I'd like to clarify from the people here if Tama nga ba na yung years lang na count ay yung after Sep 21, 2021? Kasi that would mean 2 years 9 months lang ang counted na xp ko, which is 0 points. I would ideally want atleast 3 years para man lang maka5 points so I would really appreciate some clarifications for the results para malaman ko next steps ko if magFile na ba ako ng EOI or magpaReappeal or reAssess or anuman.

Advanced thank you all!

hello!

qualification = education. baka yung course mo na computer engineering is wala masyadong ICT units/subjects. hence, not closely related.

yung sa work experience naman, closely related because they based it on your work experience, job description, etc. it means aligned yung work experience mo to your nominated occupation.

QUESTION:
Tama ba na yung maccredit lang sakin is yung years after Sep 21, 2021?

yes, after sept 22, 2021. pwede ka naman na magsubmit ng EOI, as long as you have skills and english assessments.

Kasi that would mean 2 years 9 months lang ang counted na xp ko, which is 0 points. I would ideally want atleast 3 years para man lang maka5 points

3 more months to 3 yrs. the system will automatically add up and update your EOI.

if magFile na ba ako ng EOI or magpaReappeal or reAssess or anuman

magsubmit ka na ng EOI. idk how appeal/reassess works. well it doesnt hurt to try? pero submit ka na ng EOI while working on your appeal (if you plan to).

hth!

just my 2cents, i believe you will find out the details of your score, if you put all of this po on your EOI, it does generate the necessary points on it automagically so it will tell you if you can get points for the claimed details/documents na inilagay mo po when you try to lodge it, the EOI po ha

all the best!

God Bless!

Yes okay lang zedc kung walang naka indicate na salary mo sa employment reference. Wala rin yung sa akin ang important may ITR at payslips ka

neralpas · June 14

Hi all. Question, Same lang po ba yung documents na need ipasa sa new ACS?

Follow up question ko na din po, kung okay lang po ba na SSS/PagIbig at Philhealth para sa payment reference. Wala na po kasi ako copy ng payslip and yung record ng ITR parehas wala na sa employer at BIR RDO.

Thank you.

Hi, I just got my assessment in ACS, I have a question lang in claiming points since im already lodging my EOI. Sa outcome letter kasi ito yung nakalagay:

"Your skills have been assessed to be suitable against the requirements for ANZSCO code 261312 Software Engineer as of 31-Aug-2022."

The following work experiences have been assessed to be closely related to ANZSCO code 261312 Developer Programmer:

Company A - August 2020-April 2022
Company B- April 2022-August 2023
Company C - August 2023-May 2024

When lodging EOI, I need to select whether a work experience is related to the ANZSCO code, and since nakalagay sa outcome na closely related yung work ko for Company A, even though skills have been assessed as suitable as of Aug 31, 2022, I'm wondering if I could claim points for Company A and iselect sa pag lodge yung option as "Related Employment". Thank you.

Typo on the ANSZC codes, multiple kasi yung assessed codes I mistakenly copy another.

You need to consider the visa subclass AND state you are submitting EOIs to.
For example, NSW for this about to end FY, you should only claim related employment based on your deemed skilled date. Therefore, you cannot claim points for Company A and early months of Company B.

While in subclass 189, you can claim points for that employment as long as you can provide sufficient evidences to support the claim.

But since a new FY will open by July, I suggest you research on each state and subclass eligibility. Baka may magbago pa eh, then you just update your EOI accordingly.

Thank you! Hindi na kasi maprovide ng company yung first payslip ko, although yung second payslip nabigay pa nila. I’m wondering if I still need to provide yung second payslip tapos iattach ko yung email correspondence na hindi na nila mahanap yung first payslip.

Bale ganito yung balak ko iprovide for the payment evidences:
Beginning: SSS contributions table/employment history & BIR 2316
End: Last Payslip and BIR 2316

Hi.
Hingi lang po ng advise. My hubby is Computer Engineering graduate, and ang work experience nya ay software developer, web develope and technology consultant. Sa ACS po ba sya magpapa-assess and how po?

Hopefully maenlighten ako sa mga dapat naming gawin. Salamat!

Hello, one help on the application, please. Meron ba sa inyo nagkaroon ng multiple roles sa isang employer?

Ang sabi kasi sa ACS form, _"Any work experience where the role title and duties changed must be split into separate work episodes."
_

As I understand this, need ko ilagay yung work experience ng magkahiwalay sa ACS application. Ibig sabihin ba nito, twice ko iuupload yung employer reference and payslips ko (for both work episode sa same company)?

Nasa employer reference ko naman yung both roles ko sa company. Although yung concern ko kasi, yung payslips ko covers only the beginning and end of my employment sa company (which is the requirement naman talaga).

Hello, I just want to confirm if the Skills Assessment is valid for 3 years from the date of issue? Mine is July 12, 2022. So it will expire on July 12, 2025? Correct?

Also, the EOI's are valid for 24 months when it was lodged? Does this means I do not need to submit new EOI's for this coming FY and I can just update it any time then lodged for new EOI's once it expires?

Thank you!

Sorry, clarification lang if valid ng 2 years or 3 years ang skills assessment?

Also, if I have a positive skills assessment before, can I use my previous work reference that I submitted before or do I need to request a new one? I am still working for the same company.

PTE ata yung 3 yrs ang validity. afaik, 2 yrs lang skills assessment. also at the bottom of the ACS result, it says: This assessment is valid for a period of 24 months from the date of this letter.
with their new process, idk if may ganyan pa din sa letter.

yes, 2 yrs ang validity ng EOI. if naka blank or open end date yung current employer mo, then no need to update, unless you changed career/employer. since 2022 pa yung docs mo, most likely they will ask for recent documents from you once you get invited.

what visa did you apply? some states might ask for a new EOI sa new FY. but we'll have to wait for their new requirements.

@casssie Thank you. I rechecked my result letter, it was stated pala. My assessment was applied previously by an agent and since it will expire on July, I am planning to reapply it on my own. So hindi ko na need mag request ng updated na work ref from my company? I can use the same work ref I applied last 2022?

But for example, I'll have a new role in the same company, dapat ba ako mag request ng new work ref before ako magpa reassess sa ACS?

i suggest, request ka na ng bago. since for sure lahat ng documents mo nun is dated back in 2022 pa.

regarding new role, yes, mas okay na you submit your current role.

disclaimer: may bagong process na si ACS since july 2024 (iirc), might as well read their guidelines na lang din. baka di na din updated yung experience ko with them regarding their requirements.
