Hi guys,
I have a 6 digit "reference number" on my payslip but have no idea what it is? Anyone know?
Cheers,
Z

Likely to be your employers PAYE number with HMRC.0

So could someone like a referencing agency determine the company and employer details from this? Or is it confidential to all except HMRC, myself and my employer?
Thanks in advance!0 -
Is this a serious question? Maybe ask the employer if its that importantWe’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Is it all numbers, or is it three digits and a / followed by more numbers?Signature removed for peace of mind0
