hi everyone, just wondering if anyone knows when the P60's are due is there a date we should have recieved them by?
 
while an employer must have the details to Revenue by 15 Feb (or 23rd Feb if submitting on-line) I don't think there is a date by which the P60 has to be given to employees. Most employers would give them out by this date though - there is no reason why they should be holding them up.
 
if you employed by dept of educ, i am too and ive not recieved mine yet. if another govt dept ive heard they are the worst for late delivery!!!

I can't find this on revenue site - it does say you have to have P35 done by 15th Feb (or 23rd if doing through ROS), but couldn't find a date for the P60s. Now, in fairness, you'd imagine that employers would give them out once the P35 is completed.

The Revenue's Employer's Guide to PAYE ( full_employers_Guide.pdf ) states :-

Every year we have to beg our clients who work (or spouses work) for the HSE (West) to give us their P60s. How can government departments get away with ignoring the law?

Perhaps if someone in Revenue hit the Secretary of the relevant department directly for breach of employer legislation someone down the line might get their thumb out. :rolleyes:

Different rules for different sectors.
Wait until you see the mess the next few weeks will bring. Can you imagine trying to pro-rata correctly a 'levy' for the last 5 days of a 2 week period for (hundreds of) thousands of employees.!! Actually they have been given a couple of months to implement it fully....

What has the levy got to do with P60s for '08?
 
In earlier years it has been many people's experience of delayed p60s from some govt department. The new levy has nothing to do with that. It seems to have just been they were late. If a multinational with 5,000 employees can get p60's out by 15 Feb, I see no reason why anyone else cannot do the same. There are no exceptions for govt departments as far as I am aware.
