Have you spoken to the payrole department/owner/manager? That might be a good place to start. Good luckGood Enough Club member number 27(2) AND I got me a stalkee!

Maybe you've not hit the threshold yet - Is this your first job ?
How much are you earning each week ? The NI threshold is about £97 a week, below this you will pay nothing.Sealed pot challenge 822

As above you need to be earning above 97 per week for NI.
Is this your first job in the tax year?0 -
To put your mind at rest, the tax and NI which should be deducted is your employer's liability, not yours. So, when HMRC catch up with him (her), they will have to pay, not you. You can either keep on at management, or inform HMRC.£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0

In which case the employee may try and take back the overpay. I am not sure how this would work or what they company is allowed to do. Potentially could the employer take it from future pay? If I was the OP I would be concerned that they would suddenly start deducting from future pay leaving me short.
OP, have you been keeping some of your wages aside to take into consideration what you think you should have deducted for NI/tax?0 -
They could only deduct from future pay with the employee's consent.
HMRC would treat the payment to the employee as being nett of tax and NI - so the employer would have difficulty in proving otherwise for that period.0 -
Notify your tax office collectively (if you phone HMRC they will give you the right number) and tell your manager you have done so. That'll light a fire under 'em. Maybe they're hoping to avoid paying employer's NI (the portion that doesn't come out of your money).0

Check your contract - most contracts nowadays have a clause to the effect that the employer can deduct any monies owed directly from the employees salary. If the employee works under the contract (they don't have to sign it) they are deemed to have accepted the terms.I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0
