Payslips are meant to be issued at or before the time of each payment so a summary schedule issued after the event does not get close to their meeting the legal requirement.

Are there any penalties for employers who do not provide payslips?

You can add it to a claim to an ET which can consider compensation.

Is there a time limit for bringing case against employer for not providing payslips....my husband has never received payslips for the whole of his fifteen years employment despite numerous requests....
....requests over recent days have resulted in the reply that the employer will produce payslips early next month when he will also provide P45....my husbands final official day of work was 26th October....frankly fed up with employers attitude (putting it politely!) so contacted ACAS with view to employment tribunal / adding to current tribunal case but not sure how this fits with time limitations for bringing a case.....any ideas which date they will count from or does the timeframe become irrelevant if just wanting to officially raise issue of employers incompetence on a legal requirement that he has failed to fulfill....not expecting any compensation just recognition from Employment Judge that he has failed to legally meet his obligations.....and a payslip for our records
Any suggestions or advice?

Have just checked personal tax account and it appears to show 30th November as the date that my husband left his employment.....actual final date of employment was officially 26th October. Am awaiting receipt of P45 (have been told it is in the post) so will check dates on that. 

Will it matter if later date is shown, are there any potential implications.....tribunal papers state 26th October...any other reason why date would be important?

Also figures shown on tax account compared to what was actually received differ .....effectively have been underpaid by employer to the tune of approx £185 net partly as they put through a late adjustment which generated a negative income tax amount so too much tax deducted in previous months.....am thinking this needs to be paid by employer to my husband as the figures employer input to HMRC will be the amounts he will be paying in his quarterly return....if he won’t pay what are the options?

Am seriously considering tribunal case for employer not providing payslips....never received in all of fifteen years ....was never really an issue in the past but reasons for receiving them now really coming into play

Have also found a strange adjustment at end of last tax year which requires investigation...makes me wonder just how many others there are....if payslips had been received this would have been noticed!
