New job

[rach912]

I have been claiming job seekers allowance, however this week have started some temporary work. I told the agency that I did not have my P45 and the Job centre would be sending it on and they said that in the meantime they would fill out a P46 for me so that I don't get emergency taxed, is this true? what exactly is a P46?
