Worker quits over ‘irregular’ pay slip figures
No Caption ABCDE
A former warehouse worker has had to quit his job due to irregularities with his pay slips.
Andy Penn, of Biggleswade says he had to leave his role after being paid expenses he never claimed – and only being deducted a tiny amount of tax and National Insurance.
The 30-year-old, who lives in Trinity Close spent seven months working for Bibby Distribution in two separate stints.
There is no suggestion that Bibby acted irregularly, but Andy had to quit after ongoing issues with the pay slips administered by payroll processing firm Employ-E.
But the firm claims that there have been no irregularities and that there has been a breakdown in communication between Andy, Employ-E and the Direct Workforce agency that he was employed through.
Andy said: “When I first started I signed the forms to agree that I could claim expenses but apart from one occasion when they amounted to about £5 I never put any other claims in. They were including expense claims for anything from £10 to more than £100 on my weekly pay slips.”
A spokesman for Employ-E said: “A temporary worker can claim travel and subsistence expenses, deducting them from their gross pay before tax.
“This system means that the workers gain the benefits immediately rather than months after the tax year ends, having submitted their tax return.
“Employ-E has a record of Mr Penn clicking to confirm the expenses that he wanted to claim on the online portal.”
