I left my previous employer on Wednesday 27th March and went on 4 weeks garden leave.
The company pays its employees on the 18th of each month and my last payment I received was a correct months pay on the 18 of March.
I woke up this morning and noticed I hadn’t been paid anything. I contacted them and they said there had been a payroll error and I should have been paid the full end amount including garden leave pay last month but because it was late in the month it didn’t process.
They’re now saying I’m owed an amount from them, but this amount is about a 3rd less than I was expecting. They’re saying because it was an amount due in March, I’ve been taxed 40% and this is the reason it’s less than what I expected. They’re saying I need to contact HMRC to claim it back.
I’ve spoken to HMRC a moment ago and they told me they can’t see the details on their end yet, but they said it sounds like a large chunk of money that’s been taken. Even with emergency tax it’s usually only a 5th of the salary.
Has anyone else had a situation like this?Can anyone advise? I’m about £700 worse off now and have mortgage/direct debits that now won’t be covered.
