Employer won't give me payslips or p60 - and probably no p45 when I leave!

Tallienat

Hello,

I work for a care agency and I handed my notice in a month ago, i
am due to leave tomorrow (6th June 2014).

However, I am a bit worried as they haven't given me a p60 and
I haven't had a payslip for 5 months.
I have tried to explain to them that I can't get to
The office and they said they would post them to me, on the 1st May.
When I asked them again yesterday if they could send me them
before I leave tomorrow, they said no.
I want to report them to the tax office but I don't know
how I do that. They have also been making deductions
from my wages for the past 7 months, which I think
are illegal deductions as I haven't signed anything to say I am happy for them to do so.

Also, another carer left over a month ago and she
Never received her p45. I am due to start a new job after this one,
but I can't without my p45.

Can anyone help me?

I think they have to; maybe you local CAB could help?

(If they won't give the payslips/P45, it makes you wonder if they've been fiddling the taxes...)

Whether you need to have signed something in order for them to make deductions depends on what those deductions were for.

You don't need a P45 in order to start a new job. Your new employer can use a Starter Checklist (P46 replacement).

Well that bit is no problem.

If you don't have a p45 you simply fill in a p46 yourself and give that to your new employer instead. You can download one from HMRC.

Not any more, the form is no longer on the HMRC website. As stated by LittleVoice the employer now has to use the Starter Checklist.

An employer must issue a P60 before the end of May and has a requirement to issue a P45 after the last salary payment has been made.

If they do not issue you with these then write to HMRC, give the name and address of the employer, and state that despite several requests they have not fulfilled their obligations.

Hopefully they will send the leaver information via the RTI system so HMRC will get the details and can update the tax code at your new employer when they receive that information.

As has been advised above, if you have no P45 then your new employer should complete the starter checklist.

Re the deductions from your payslip, do you know what they are?

If my employer was deducting monies from my pay and I didn't know what it was for I would certainly not have allowed it to continue for 7 months before asking the question.
