If you have issued the employee a P45, then you must not reissue it after processing the extra pay. You should issue them a letter or payslip that includes the date of the payment, the gross amount of pay and any tax deducted.
Why did I get sent a P45?
You’ll get a P45 from your employer when you stop working for them. Your P45 shows how much tax you’ve paid on your salary so far in the tax year (6 April to 5 April). A P45 has 4 parts (Part 1, Part 1A, Part 2 and Part 3).
How quickly should an employer issue a P45?
An employer is supposed to issue an employee with their form P45 at their date of termination or, if this is not practicable, without unreasonable delay. With the employee’s agreement this could be left until the final payment of wages is calculated and paid.
What do I need to know about my P45?
Your P45 shows how much tax you’ve paid on your salary so far in the tax year (6 April to 5 April). A P45 has 4 parts (Part 1, Part 1A, Part 2 and Part 3). Your employer sends details for Part 1 to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and gives you the other parts. You give Part 2 and 3 to your new employer (or to Jobcentre Plus if you’re not working).
Why was my P45 emailed to someone else?
One of his employees left at the end of August and the P45 was emailed to him to forward on. Clearly he has not done this as she has now contacted us for it.
Is it possible to re-send a duplicate P45?
Now the rules say the duplicate P45’s can’t be issued but surely this was written in the good old days of paper. The P45 is in a PDF format, so technically its not being re-issued as a replacement just re-sent. So the question is, would you re-send a P45?
Can a P45 be re-sent to a former employee?
I certainly would. As someone who is on the receiving end of never receiving a P45 from an employer before and having to chase for a copy despite them saying it was sent in the post, I would expect one to be re-sent. NO! I wouldn’t send to a former staff member of a client.
