New Job

I'm currently working my notice period at my Saturday job to move on to full-time employment.

I leave my Saturday job on the 20th June, and commence full-time work on the 29th.

My final payday for the Saturday job will be 31st June, so when can I expect my P45? Does this also mean will have to pay emergency tax on the full-time job, or can they use my tax code from my P60?

    There is no 31st June. (Thirty days has September, April, June and November ...)

    sorry - someone more helpful will be along in a minute. I think I know the answers to your questions but am not expert enough really. :-)

    When you join the new job you will need to fill in a P46 if you have no P45.
    This will probably mean you will be put on a code of 647L M1 which although an emergency code isn't too bad.
    However depending upon when your new payday occurs you may have your P45 by then.
    Your P60 will be of no use.

    If you are only working on Saturdays, I wonder if yu are below the tax threshold and dont pay tax? If so, you wont get a P45 and will need to complete a form P46 when you start with your new employer. You will be put on emergency code (647L week 1 ) until HMRC get a chance to send you a form asking about your previous employment so that they can issue a proper code to your new employer.

    Oops, completely my mistake!

    Payday is last day of month, so will be Tues 30th!

    My Saturday job is with H&M, and they have said they can pay my final wages up to 2 weeks after my final payday.

    They also promised my P45 and payslip would be posted after the payday.

    My first payday in the bank is on the 20th July.

    OP you should receive your final pay slip and p45 a few days later, just explain to your new employer that your, when do you get payed ? would it be the last friday of the month which is the 26th so if it is then you could expect the payslip and p45 to be with you the following week i guess

    The letter of the law is that your current employer should issue your P45 on the day you leave. If he makes any payments to you after that he should deduct tax at 20% from the full amount and issue an additional P45 for the “payment after leaving.”
    However Tax Law does not dictate when your employer has to pay you your final wages.
    In my limited experience of people leaving their jobs I don’t think I have ever heard of anyone being not being paid their normal wages, in full, on the day they leave, even in cases of instant dismissal.
    If your Saturday job is with someone like ASDA or TESCO I think there is a very good chance that your full pay for June will be paid to you and you will get your P45, fully correct, on your last day.

    I am sorry Jimmo, but I have to disagree with most of your post. The letter of the law states that a p45 should be issued as soon as possible after the last pay date. It definitely does not state on the date of leaving.

    If a "payment after leaving" is made then a P45 must not be issued under any circumstances.

    Look at this page on HMRC, it will tell you the same
    as I have.
