Have you spoken to payroll about this and if so what did they say?
A code of 1257L Wk 1 or BR/0T would mean that payroll have not yet got your P45 would be worth checking to see if they have now received it.

If no X and figures in section 7 then the P45 has been entered wrongly unless HMRC have advised them differently so worth checking with payroll.
EDIT
Just looked back and see that your old code was 1389M not 1380M so could be HMRC code change. They will usually put you on a week 1 code if they reduce your tax code to avoid it being backdated to the start of the tax year; but in your circumstances with unused weeks allowances that is not the best choice. So check with employer if this is an HMRC code and if so contact HMRC and explain that a cumulative code would be better.1 -

Only if HMRC issue a change to the tax code/basis to put it on cumulative. If you want this change I think you will have to contact them.1

I took a break from work a while back, and honestly, I didn’t have to tell anyone about it. My employer took care of informing the tax office, and everything just worked itself out by the end of the tax year. I even ended up getting a small refund because I hadn’t worked the full year.
