Wrongly issued a P45 advice?

Hi all,

I'm after some advice from the experts!

The accounts/hr dept at my work have made administrative error and wrongly issued me with a P45 and final payslip!

I'm not leaving the company. I had a fixed term contract until 31st Dec but received a letter/confirmation and (verbal confirmation from my boss) that the contract will be continued until June 2013.

I immediately phoned my boss and he confirmed there has been administrative error on their part in finance/accounts .....

Now the issue I can see is I will return the P45 for accounts/finance to retract/cancel but how does this work - does any-one know because presumably it has been filed with HMRC?

How easily will it be to be reinstated as an employee (so I get paid!)... Back on system as a employee/ etc?

This has also left me wondering about rights as a employee and continued service because now this looks like a break in employment so do I need to get this in writing from my employer confirming there was a !!!!-up and a P45 was wrongly issued?

Also I have literally just filed my final self-assessment online to un-register as self-employed and inform HM I became a fixed term PAYE employee - so I don't know if that will be affected after this blunder.

    I wouldn't worry about it. They probably haven't even sent the P45 off yet and even if they did it wouldn't make any difference.

    It's probably an automated response & I'm sure both payroll & HMRC have dealt with it previously, try not to get too stressed about it!

    Certainly it won't affect this as you will continue to be an employee.
