Advice about an Employer who will not pay DEO of Employee

There's certainly a chance that he may be working there in a self-employed capacity, sub-contracting. All the CSA can really do is contact inland revenue and see if his records show him as now working PAYE for another firm. Do you think he is still working at the same place, or do you think he is working elsewhere. Perhaps the reason he sold his house was that he's moved to a different area/different job.

Hi, thanks for replying. He sold his house, I believe, to be closer to the new job. Its just strange he gets a new job (he left a very lucrative one in europe to return to the UK for this one) only to stay a few months at the new one, get the CSA on his back now being back in the UK/jurisdiction, and suddently he is no longer an 'employee', claim the company.

So, basically, can the CSA ask inland revenue in a couple of months time to see if he is working PAYE? So, if he works elsewhere, he'll be made to pay his arrears?

I'm kind of at the point where I am thinking.....what a looser..., turn my back and walk away from the whole CSA 'chase'. He's won, but at a great expense as he has chosen to keep his money and turn his back on his child.

Perhaps it would be best to move on. At the end of the day, I can't say I didn't try to get suuport for our daughter. (By the way, the CSA's latest assessment was that he owes about 8k arrears, I suppose that was the last straw for him) I know that will stick, and if they do catch up with him one day, it will be a bonus.

It depends how long it takes the new company to get him registered (usually takes a few weeks) on their tax records, but basically the CSA send an email to HMRC asking what he is up to, the response they get should show where he is now working, and when he started working there, so long as he is paying tax.

HMRC get back in touch with the CSA about a week or so later. Could be worth calling them and asking them to check this.
