No p45 No payslips

[GypsyGSD]

My grandaughter age 18 has been working in a local hair salon as she thought on a aprenticeship for just over a year starting age 17 she has now been a few weeks ago she has been told she is not on a aprentiship and they feel her attidude is not right for this line of work they gave her a months probation,after 2 weeks they decided she had to go , now dwp want to see proof of earnings her wage has been paid into the bank direct but she has asked for back dated payslips and her p45 plus there reasons for her dismissal she cannot have these as the companys accountant has no record of her working there and her emplyer now wants her to sign a p46 which she is not going to do any advice would be most welcome tks gypsy x

Tell her to get copy bank statements as these should confirm that the company has been paying her. She should contact DWP and HMRC and ask them to investigate as it would seem that the company should have had her on the payroll and paying employers NI.

who wants her to sign a p46?

[GypsyGSD]

tk you for yur quick replys her emplyer wants her to sign a p46

[chelle7272]

I take it you mean a new employer?

Mc McMuse advice is good, HMRC will be able to help.

[GypsyGSD]

no her old empolyer

[mccfluff]

but i donl;t understand why her old omplyer wants her to sign a p46 - something is not right here

[ummmm]

You fill in a P46 when you start a new job and don't have a P45.

[GypsyGSD]

bit more info her old employer called to her house 2 days ago asking her to fill in a p46

[ummmm]

Did they request this in person?

Tell her not to fill it in...

[chelle7272]

That doesn't make sense....

[ummmm]

They obviously haven't followed the correct procedure.

Inform HMRC...

[GypsyGSD]

This is what I am thinking her wage into the bank states it is from the salon which she will get asap the rest i just dont get x

[GypsyGSD]

Yes mark she lives in a small village emplyer called to her house and left it with her to fill in

[ummmm]

Mark?

Tell her not to fill it in. Like I said....a P46 is filled in when you start a new job without a P45.

[ladybirder]

So the employer is now worried and trying to cover their tracks by getting her to sign a P46 now that she should have been given to sign when she joined the company. I bet they don't want her to put a date on it either.

[GypsyGSD]

she is contacting hmrc now it really sounds odd to me

[mccfluff]

the employer is stupid or up to something

[GypsyGSD]

I think you are so right she has been doing 45 hours a week as she thought on a apprenticship and has nothing to show for her last years work

[GypsyGSD]

hmrc have said there is no record of the company

[brenda]

Just a thought--- if she can get her hands on this P46--- it may prevent thje employer from forging a signature.
