Employer wont give anyone a P60

[bigworry]

Changed my name for this, worked for someone last year, told tax credits when I started...slowly dawned on me it wasnt quite as legit as I thought it was and left 7 weeks later. Told tax credits. Now they want to see a p60 or payslips...I havent got any :( WTF do I do now?
It wasnt just me, a girl who has worked there for years had a letter saying her contributions werent up to date and would she like to add to them.
When I asked for a P60 or anything to say id earnt that money there she shook her head and said No I dont get involved in that sort of thing...

i didnt think they had a choice, i thought they had to give you a p60

was it a cash in hand job?

why dont you phone the inland revenue

I guess it was, but me being honest declared it. I didnt realise at the time you see. And I left when I clicked that I wasnt going to be getting any proof of my working there.

They only have o provide P60 if you were working there on April 5th. Did you get a P45 when you left? If you haven't got any payslips I think you will need to contact Inland revenue with evidence of your net pay.

no p45. no nothing.

definatly phone inland revenue then, they will tell you what to do next.

will grit teeth and do that. thanks.

How did they pay you? If it was cheque, then you will be able to obtain a copy from your bank. They are legally obliged to provide you with a P60. But if it was cash, I suppose it's your word against theirs. Inland Revenue would certainly be interested though, I would have thought!

cash...it was £20 for a few hours work.

Ring Tax Credits people. Explain the whole situation to them - that you took what you thought was a legit job and informed them accordingly and that you left immediately you realised it was dodgy. Provide Tax Credits with any info they want re the employer - they are the one in the wrong not you and as long as you keep it that way it should sort itself out.

hope you have managed to get it sorted
