Hi all,

Quick question I changed jobs recently and have updated my job info on ROS. I received my final payslip from my last company and the PAYE is way higher than normal, can anyone explain why this occurs and will it compensated for in a PAYE reduction with the new for the first pay there?

Thanks
 
Was your final pay higher ? Did they have to pay you holidays when leaving ? Were you paying into a pension but the last payslip didn't as you were no longer in the scheme ?
 
Thanks elcato, so in answer -
1) Pay was lower as was for 1/2 the month
2) Yes there was leave to be paid out
3) Paying into a pension but this payslip only shows my contribution, other payslips show company's and my contributions
 
So tax credits for 2 weeks, but the added annual leave amount is probably taxed in its entirety at the high rate.
Company may put pension contributions in at end of month

Another reason could be if you changed ros before your last payslip was generated, and your tax credits were allocated to the new company. I believe the ros system is live update.
 
Thanks, could be the latter that caused it so. I presume that will correct itself by the end of the year or is there anything I need to do?
 
It should correct itself but in January next year apply for the P21 or whatever the equivalent is now online.

From experience with my staff, it corrects itself on the next payslip with the new company. Nothing for you to do assuming you are taxed on a cumulative basis which iIthink is the default setting
