Regardless of this situation, you must keep them. If the tax man ever says you owe him money they are the only way you can prove otherwise. Change your habit on this - keep them for at least 2 years (better still, 6).

i can request copies of them from my work,do you think they will accept them?

If they look exactly like the originals, yes. If they look like photocopies, no.

they all ready have my details of where i work,could they confirm my wages that way?

They could very easily write for a reference. This shouldn't cost you anything.

Duplicates from your employer should be fine

I suggest you also learn to keep other things like utility bills, receipts for large items and bank statements for a good few years.

You never know when bits of paperwork come in useful especially as you are a money saver.
