no national insurance being deducted

Hi,

I earn a low wage so either don't get taxed or have only about 80p deducted. but I still had national insurance taken off which was fine.

but for the last two months, no national insurance has been deducted from my wages.

Should I query this and should I worry about? What possible effect can it have if they don't take national insurance?

Any advice please?

Thanks.

    NI is taken at 11% on weekly wages over £105
    or monthly wages over £453

    If you earned under £453 then no national insurance was due. Provided that you earned at least £390 then you will be treated as having paid national insurance even though none was paid.
