Wage slip?

rainy233

Hi can anyone give some advice please?
My husband was on incapacity benefit from april 2012 until august 2012 when he got himself a job but on his wage slip it says pay to date about £2000 more thn he has earnt from this employment! So would the incapacity benefit he recieved beforehand be on the wage slip part of pay to date?
Thank you in advance

he wouldnt have been on incapacity benefit between those dates. could it have neeb ESA?

anyway ... ywa, benefits are classed as income and so appear on P45's and P60's abd wage slips

Its not normally usual to have any kind of benefit information printed on anyone's wage slip. The info you should have on there will only be the pay advice relating to his employment.

For example...

Total gross pay to date,Gross for Tax to date,Tax paid to date,Earnings for NI to date, and National Insurance to date,your National Insurance number, Tax Code, Payroll Number,Payment period (weekly or monthly)hours worked ,overtime and your net pay etc...

Do you know if your hubby is on the right tax code? he could be paying the wrong amount of tax? Are there any other deductions on there that haven't been taken into account? Might be worth checking.

So sorry nannytone for sounding thick lol what do those abbreviations mean? hope you don't mind me asking?

But I agree that benefits are classed as income and that info will always appear on your p60s and p45s but not on wage slips.

I only know this because when my hubby started a new job after claiming JSA he received his first wage slip it didn't have any JSA info on there.

Thanks guys he was on incapacity im sure of it as he had a back operation. Some say that all earnings from taxable benefits or employment would be on the pay to date part of a wage slip from April to when the wage slip is recieved. And others dont I just dont know because the benefit would have made it to the figure it is at

It is a small business and hubby doesnt want to be a pain by asking as he is just so pleased to have a job!

Why does he not ask his employer what the figure relates to? As others have said, normally wages slips state: Gross pay for pay period and to date for year. Tax code. National insurance paid on whole £1's to date and Tax paid to date on a cumulative basis, one the correct tax code has been issued. Sometimes if he is paying into a pension scheme, the gross pay can be higher as that is taken at source - could that be what has happened? But that should be stated on the wage slip anyway.

some wage slips do include earnings from previous employment... (my wage slips from mcd's included previous job's wages...) tax is figured out using both previous employment earnings and current employment earnings.

P60 would show earnings from only this job... as a singular figure (but also includes earnings from previous employment).

im guessing you claimed as a couple so about £112 was payable (forget the exact figure... without looking on gov.uk :P)

april - august = about 16 weeks...
16 x £112 = £1782.

so depending on dates of claim, and how much you were paid... you should have part1 of p45 from esa claim... look how much you were paid..... is it the same as how much the figure differentiates?
