National Insurance contribution - employee contribution

My new employer has not paid 20 months National insurance employee contributions from 2023 to 2025.
I have 39 full years contribution showing on my GOV UK account, not sure if I need to pay the back dated payments.
Any advice would be grateful, thank you.

    How do you know they haven't paid them?

    Have they reported your earnings to HMRC?

    How do you know this?

    What contributions you have made in total is different to your employer not paying over money deducted from you to HMRC.

    email to say about the 20 months .... waiting until March/April 2026 
    then contact HMRC, not sure to get financial advice based on record showing full for 39 years

    Maybe you could put that in plain English?

    You haven't explained how you know the NI hasn't been paid.  Or if it actually impacts your State Pension.

    Just for clarity HMRC says work with your employer, I am waiting for the end of this financial year to pay the 20 months within over payments for 2025-2026 tax year.
    It was a question to see because i have paid 39 full payments into the system if I needed to do the repayments (20 months)
    I have been paying my personal & employee payments since the email informing me of the issue and will still be paying both 
    any advice would be gratefully apricated

    What is your employment?

    Why has your employer not  deducting Ni from your wages?  Is he treating you as self employed?
