Is there a tax or payroll accountant amongst the PH collective?

I've just been underpaid by £700 for the third time in 5 months. Each of the first two times I had to sort it out and it was corrected by 3-day transfer.

I could really do with a bit of informed advice about what could be going wrong and how to sort it out.

No offence to anyone with general experience, but I'm looking for a specialist just now. Anyone who knows me will know I don't need any help with writing a stiff letter either

It sounds like their is a problem with your employer's payroll package-once you are set up on a system with the correct tax code there should be no mistakes of this sort.

Is the tax code applied correct?

Which system do your employers use?

Is it overtime you are short on or basic?

No, that's not the problem; I know what happened the previous two times, just don't have my paperwork with me today to extrapolate whether it's the same thing again.

Thanks for the help but what I need is some very specific guidance. I need to talk numbers so don't really want to say any more here.
