Company keep adding me to their payroll

[TeddyisMydog]

Hopefully this is okay to put in here and not in employment issues.

Basically in April I was supposed to start working for a well known supermarket, my promised childcare fell through and I couldn't start.
I was paid for the induction but noticed I was taxed on it, having checked my hmrc page it seems I was taxed as it was coming under a second job. Another company had already used up my tax free allowance so to speak.
An hour and 20 minutes to hmrc and the employment was ended.

Due to start a new job this week and randomly happened to check my hmrc page and they've added themselves back! It doesn't have a start date just says "your employment from 6 April 2022 to 6 April 2023"

Ive just contacted the company there and they don't understand how this has happened. What can I do? Because I didn't feel believed by hmrc last time let alone having to phone and explain its happened again

HMRC work on what they get told through technology and, for many reasons, that sometimes doesn't work.

Ring HMRC and ask for your code to all go to your new job and the other one made BR code basic rate, or if they can, delete it.

That way you get your allowance in your new job and the non starter job doesn't affect it.

Is someone using your national insurance number?

I have two jobs and was able to do this all online so they knew exactly how much each job paid and my tax code is split correctly.

I did already ring them last month and they manually ended it but its back this morning
It actually says "employments ended since 6 April" or something to that effect
Then it has the same company as a current one but it was definitely ended the first time I done this

Sorry maybe I've not made it clear, this is a random company. One I've not heard of

So it says 'employment ended since 6 april'

1. random company
2. Well known supermarket (I was paid for the induction)

Random company has added themselves back, it's a company I have never heard of. Upon googling it, its about 5 hours away

It sounds like this other company have your NI number input into their system or something, perhaps incorrectly for a new employee?

I would contact this other company and explain and have them sort it with HMRC (don't give other company all your info, though!). If they think they're right, they'll think it's a glitch when HMRC remove you and add you to their system again, when you need to tell them it's the wrong NI number and to stop adding you. If you contact other company and they can't remove you (I wouldn't be giving them my full name, DOB and NI number so if they can remove you somehow without this that's better), then at least you've given them the heads up and can contact HMRC again.

You might want to check your credit score / account to make sure nobody is using your identity.

Have they been paying your ni contributions?

No, there's no pay put in the system. Just shows as I'm. Employed by them and because it shows as employed any 2nd employer I get taxed on

@KatherineofGaunt thank you that's really helpful. I did contact the company this morning and they just said they can't understand how this has happened and they'll contact their accountant
Surely it can't be that hard to realise though

Contact the company, give them your NI number and ask them to check that nobody they employ is using this

I have erased all personal info
This is what I see

1 current employment
2 have ended since April

The one that says £28 was the induction

I'd just ask HMRC to ensure your full tax code is going to your new employer.

If the random company aren't paying you anything you won't get taxed on a second job. You only get taxed when they pay you so make sure your full allowance is where it needs to be and you should be fine.

Also contact the random company again and ask them to remove you

As others have said the most important thing is that your full tax code is on your new employers record so you are fairly taxed. HMRC can sort that for you.
The good thing is the rogue employer record isn't being used. Are you sure your new employer isn't owned by or using a 3rd party for their payroll though?
