Will my Employer know of my BR?

Hi there - yet another question (woken in another panic today...)

I have read a few posts that mention being put on a nil tax code. Wouldn't my employer then know of my BR? I mean, why else would I be put on a nil tax code? I am desperate for them not to find out, I am certain I would lose my job (not because I am in a profession usually affected, just because it is a very small business, I am paid fortnightly by the owner of the business. I know they would not like the stigma and reputation)

Thanks folks, your valued advice much appreciated

There is a thread on here somewhere, but not sure how to post it onto here :rolleyes:
It all depends as to whether there's a clause in your contract, and also depends on the job that you do.
There are more experienced people whom can probably give you better advice than me on this, but try not to worry

Numerous reasons for an NT code really....NONE of your employers business and they would be unable to find out as to why should they question it... BUT as sammy said check your contract etc to see if there is a mention anywhere about bankruptcy...either that or an anonymous call to your hR dept...
