tax/pay question

clogger

After working for a big firm for thirty odd years,I took vol redundancy nov 2011.
I have been working part time last nine months recently had a tax refund from hmrc for tax year 2011/2012, but as I was working part time from feb 2012 I wasnt sure if I was due refund as they didnt include part time earnings in the tax calculations for the last few weeks of that financial year, when I contacted them about this they said they had no record of my working or tax situation since I claimed three weeks of benefit before starting my part time job.
When I started my part time job I gave my employer my P45 but I suspect he has done nothing with it and the tax people know nothing of my employment they said a P46 should be filled out but I am not sure if they mean I should fill it out or my employer.
I am not sure what to do about this I have no wish to fall out with my employer but on the other hand I dont want to break any employment laws either, I earn less than £100 per week which is paid by cheque but with no pay slip.
I like my job and have no wish to make waves but not sure if I am employed properly or not.

I'd be suspicious that you don't get a pay slip, as this would tell you your deductions, i.e. how mcuh tax & NI your employer is paying. however a quick calculation off here
shows that @ £100 pw you don't pay tax or NI so not sure where to point you now.
If it was me I would try to sort this out with my employer as they should have some kind of NI liability for you as their employee. this will have a knock on effect in that if you lose your job you won't have sufficient NI contributions to claim JSA.
Good Luck
