I've just been informed by my old colleague that when I started working for my old company it was actually under a different name for the first 2 months.
I joined a company called "X" in Feb 2012 who are still in existence today however when I worked for them they were under the same group/umbrella as a few companies. They left the group in April 2012 and my manager who also worked for X started a new company called "Y" in April/May 2012 who were a part of the same umbrella. There was no gap in employment as it happened over a weekend. I actually think it took some time for Y to be officially incorporated but our payroll was unaffected as the accountant for the entire group dealt with it. You could say this is similar to a transfer of undertakings (TUPE Act in the UK).
When I completed my EE profile before getting an invite I actually forgot about this early company situation and wrote down "Y" to cover the full period of my employment.
What do people think? Can I even make a change to my work history post-ITA to factor this in if needed? Will CIC look into the date of incorporation of "Y" / is that relevant as company incorporation date doesn't always reflect the date of trading commencing as you can employ people under many vehicles of "company" type.
