Not received p45 after numerous requests
Dear HM Revenue and Customs,
I have made 4 requests in total, 2 written in email and 2 phone calls to both the store manager and Regional Manager. Also within the same contacts i've requested my Payslips, which i was informed were in store and would be mailed to me. They have since been 'lost' which i believe to be untrue, due to the nature of the new manager in the store.
I left employment of the company over a month ago now and am starting to get extremely frustrated with this company. Their extreme unprofessionalism is what drove me to leave in the first place, and my ongoing issues help further support my decision to leave. I know full well i'm not the only ex employee to have these kind of issues.
Could you please advise:
1. Do employers have a legal obligation to issue a P45 to a member of staff on leaving employment?
2. If so, in what time frame must this be undertaken (when must the P45 be issued by measured from last day of employment)?
3. If a P45 is not issued for whatever reason what action does HMRC take?
4. What action is open to the ex-employee to obtain a P45 from ex-employer?
Kind Regards,
Luke Honeysett
