Am hoping someone can help me.
I normally work 25 hours per week. Get paid monthly.
A few weeks ago I worked a 'bank' shift. Bank workers get paid weekly. Anyway, I received my weekly pay - out of £85 I was taxed £51, then had NI and pension taken out. Came home with about £26.
My tax code was my normal PAYE tax code on my weekly pay (was expecting it to be BR as really it is a second job).
So a week later I get a tax refund (weekly payslip, although I did not work another bank shift). Then again a weekly refund. This has happened about 4 times, so I now owe tax.
Got paid my monthly wage, and they have taken my normal tax and also the rebates they have given me.
I have phoned payroll and they tell me it is to do with their computer system and there is nothing I can do about it. This will go on until April, and may even go on after April. Does this seem mad to you?
Also, they are generating a payslip and paying postage of 37p every week (even though I have not worked any more bank shifts). I thought the NHS was short of money. They are wasting it on unnecessary postage.
The system used is the McKesson system. Anyone familiar with it.
Thanks. It's not just me either. It's happening with a few of my colleagues.
