Re: Yet More Payslip Woes

I can see the payslips clearly now.

Re: 1st month not a full paycheck - not counted?

It's fine to use a partial months payslip as long as the gross value is above £1550 (ie £18600/12) for the days you worked that month as when using only 6 months employment over £18600 they just take...

Re: Payslip and bank statements query

I am sure you will be fine since you are mentioning it in the employers letter.

Re: Payslip and bank statements query

I don't know the law on this - christmasoompa is suggesting it's illegal to be paid before the date on your payslip?
