  • Is it HMRC related? Or employer related? Have you been payed anything? If it’s just HMRC with wrong info then get in touch with them.

    Have you been paid the money recorded at all?  For example, it has been submitted weekly but you got paid monthly.

    I need to ask a question...if you go on your tax account and it shows you've been paid every week but you haven't....what could be the reason for this please?
    Potentially your employer has sent the information and claimed for furlough for you. This could cause you  problems if you're claiming Universal Credit. There's been some threads here where their employer hasn't paid them but it's showing they have on their tax account.
    You could report them to HMRC but you risk your employer finding out it was you that did it and this could be risking for your job.

    However if you are not being paid then you do not actually have a job.

    Thanks for this ...is that legal

    Nope. If they are claiming and not paying you then that is fraud. If you are entitled to be paid according to your contract (rather than on a zero hours contract for example) then that is breach of contract and employment law.

    You said you have been paid but not for the dates, does it add up to the same amount as it could just be how they do the reporting.

    I have been paid but not for the dates thatits saying I've been paid for ...say it says I should have 3weeks pay but I haven't? Is that legal
    Whats the figures/dates involved? 

    Too woolly on details to advise specifically. It could be your employer pays you weekly but runs payroll 4 weekly (or some other frequency) to reduce costs. You could be comparing your net pay to the taxable gross reported to hmrc......without further details, we can't even guess. 

    If your employer has submitted the wrong info though, your employer will need to correct it.

    But it's saying I'm being paid say last Friday but I didn't receive a payment neither for the week before that

    I have a feeling this is being done to claim forlough ? As you can't receive it unless you paid your staff?
