How does JSA repayment work?

Just received my P45 and the total pay in this employment looks a lot less than what I should have received after 20% tax deduction, so I'm guessing the rest was deducted from the JSA benefits I claimed before employment? Total tax in this employment = 0. Tax code at leaving date 747L, and in no.7 of the P45 sheet it says "last entries on P11 deductions working sheet. Complete only if Tax Code is cumulative." It says week 39, and have a figure approx 2k besides total pay to date.

How do I work out how my total pay in this employment's been calculated? I thought it's just hourly wages times total hours I worked subject 20%.
