PAYSLIP Question

Hello po. May nakapag apply na po ba dito ng VETASSESS nang may incomplete payment evidence e.g., Payslip from one of former job? May isa po kasi akong past job na hindi ko na maretrieve yung older years' payslips ko pero meron po nung latter part (more than 5 years kasi ako doon sa company). In addition, complete naman po ITR ko, may statements from Pag-ibig, Philhealth and SSS din. Would that be enough kaya in the absense of some payslips?

Salamat po sa sasagot.

ITR should be fine

Thank you po!

Hi everyone. Bago po ako dito. Plano ko po sana mag apply for Visa 189 under ng "Economist" skilled occupation. Aside sa fulltime work ko po as Assistant Professor, meron din po akong consulting work with local government units at international organizations.

What if employed ako sa university ng January 2021 to December 2021, then, meron din po akong consultancy from July 2021 to December 2021 na fulltime rin (at least 20 hours per week)? Paano po yung counting pag the same ang months? Per position or job po ba yung counting kahit na parehas ang dates?

Sana po matulungan niyo ako

Maraming Salamat Po!

Hello po! Sana po may maka help na nakaka alam. Sa VETASSESS application po sa part ng EMPLOYMENT CONTACT DETAILS, enough po ba na yung contact details same with nakalagay sa Statement of Service na isa submit ko yung ilagay dito? Lahat po kasi ng SOS ko ay signed by the HR, wala pong signed ng 'supervisor' or 'manager' kaya wala rin po ako contact details nila. Salamat po sa sasagot at sa makaka help!

pikpakboom · July 2023

One more question po, sana po may maka help.

Yung SOS na na-provide ng isa sa past employers ko only listed yung job responsibilities ko sa latest team/workstream na sinupport ko and failed to indicate my duties sa first team/workstream. Meanwhile, in my CV, I indicated in more detail and better wording yung mga ginawa ko in all of the teams I supported.

Mafa-flag po kaya yan as inconsistency and would have a negative effect on my assessment or do you think it's okay to proceed na? All other relevant information is stated properly naman sa SOS and may supporting employment documents din.

Need ko pa po kaya ipa ulit sa HR yung SOS? The problem with this lang ay yung dating ko naging managers sa other team have left the company na and they would not be able to validate my duties tulad ng ginawa ng HR personnel dun sa latest team/job duties ko before mag leave ng company.

To my knowledge, yes. Nakalagay naman na employer (HR ang representative ng employer when it comes to employee-company contact like VETASSESS)/manager/supervisor. My agent did the same thing with my application.

CONFUSED WITH 'EMPLOYER'

Hello po. I am having a hard time identifying which one would I put as my employer in one of my previous jobs, sa employment details ng VETASSESS application.

For simplicity, will use the following codes po:
C1 = country 1
C2 = country 2

Comp A = company A
Comp B = company B
Comp C = company C

Comp A - based in C1, recruiter, looks for clients for me, organizes interviews etc.
Comp B - based in C2, third party of Comp A, handles employment contracts for Comp A but is not the ‘employer in contract’, handles payment invoices for client etc
Comp C - based in PH, third party of Comp B, handles payroll and PH govt benefits, the ‘employer in contract’ and signatory of my SOS
Client - company served and specific entity where job responsibilities are performed, specified din ito sa contract. The client is industry specific and is relevant sa nominated occupation ko po.

Now, I am confused if I should put the client as my employer since ito din talaga ung nilalagay ko sa CV (with disclaimer na it’s through comp A or comp C) or shall I put comp C since it is the one na nag provide and naka sign sa SOS ko?

Btw my SOS from comp C states that “I worked for client XXX for the period of etc etc and performed the following duties etc etc”.

What do you think po? Salamat po sa makaka help sa confusion ko. 🙏🏻

Whoever appears in your payslip and tax certificate would normally be the one considered as your employer.

I can only share what I did, and in my case I only included the tasks from my current role.

ITR is BIR Form 2316 po.

jas0715 · July 2023

Hello po. I have been working on the same company for 14years and been promoted 3x. Tanong ko lang po yung SOS po ba pwedeng isang lang then indicate na lang yung mga positions or separate SOS for each job title. Thank you po in advance po.

By definition, 2316 is not the Tax Return. That's Form 1700

But for evidence purposes, pwede na ang 2316 kasi it is the result of your 1700 filing. And usually, 2316 yung bumabalik satin from the employer. Hindi na natin nakikita talaga yung 1700.

La lang, just sharing, sabi ni Kuya Kim hahahaha.

For my SOS, i did it by company. So there was an employment in one of the company that i have to write position A - promoted to position B - then promoted to position C.

All with different timelines, and with stated job descriptions. Position A is slightly off with what i was trying to get assessed based on ANZCO code but i did some narrative to prove na i was having a stretched role. For vetassess, they assessed the entire 10yrs as positive and related.

DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION ITEM

Hello. Sa nag debit or credit card po sa payment ng VETASSESS, just curious ano pong item lumabas sa transaction history or billing statement niyo?

Appreciate your response

Not sure about this, kasi I just matched my CV and each SOS pagdating sa work duties. How relevant are your first workstream tasks to your nominated occupation? > @pikpakboom said:

I think there is confusion of terminologies used here. ITR’s could be forms 1700, 1701 and 1701A. These are all filed by individuals to declare all sources of income.

2316 is an official tax document to prove tax withheld for compensation payment. This is filed by the employer and could also serve as the employee’s ITR (if no other source of income to declare).

If one goes through the VETASSES guidelines in further detail, It is actually asking for employment pay evidence. This could be in the form of official government tax records showing payment summaries containing wining the employer and employee’s details. Hence the reason why 2316 is the sensible form to use…but to say ITR and 2316 are the same can be subject to different interpretations depending on an individual’s circumstance.

Hi guys. I just want to check if anyone here knows whether a skills assessment is required for Visa 494? I checked this list, and 494 is not here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skills-assessment

The actual Employer Sponsored Stream page is quite vague in this part as well: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skilled-employer-sponsored-regional-494/employer-sponsored-stream

My occupation is ICT Sales Representative. I just want to make sure it's required before I pay for the Vetassess Assessment (medyo mahal kasi). Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

Hi guys, regarding payment evidence specifically BIR 2316. I was able to obtain my 2316 from my past employer from 2019. I have a concern kasi ang file na naprovide nila is parang scanned lng through mobile phone. Will a phone scanned copy be accepted by VETASSESS?

Ang alam ko is clear colored copies dapat.

Diba black and white naman po format ng BIR form 2316?

Yes, black and white talaga ang 2316. Paanong scanned copy ba, like pinicturan lang? Make sure not cut off ang document and high quality. I forget if may required resolution (dpi) si VETASSESS, please check their website na lang.

If hindi clear yung copy, I'd probably try to find a way to get one just in case. Minsan kasi babalikan ka ni VETASSESS asking for a clearer copy of a document, e.g. diploma. Better to find a way and worry now, baka mangarag ka lang din by the same thing pagkasubmit mo.

Not required. If you have one then provide it. Just write a cover letter when you lodge your application that you’ve got no PRC so they don’t have to chase you. Thus document will only come in handy if your qualification is not from a section listed institution.

Baka po may maka help. Nag search ako sa vetassess for cardiac tech. May lumabas naman po. Gusto ko sana mag work as echo tech sa australia pero di ko alam pano or saan makaka apply kasi mostly hinihingan ng ASAR certification yung mga nakikita kong job posting. May nabasa ako dito na instead sa ASMIRT mag pa assess, sa vetassess dapat since hindi accredited sa australia yung degree ko dito na bs radiologic technology. Sana may maka help po na answer
