Payroll: Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: When will I get my payslip?

A: Payslips are all available for substantive post holders via the MyView service portal on . Works paid on the causal payroll will receive their payslip via post to their home address.

 

Q: My pay has changed, what have I been paid for?

A: Check your payslip on the MyView portal to see what has changed. If you do not recognise a payment or adjustment you can contact your line manager or Payroll Coordinator.

 

Q: Can I get an advance on my salary?

Q: When will I get my P60? Can I obtain a copy?

A: The University aims to have P60’s available on MyView at the beginning of May. P60’s must be available by 31st May. P60’s are provided as electronic documents so copies cannot be obtained from the Payroll office.

 

Q: Why do the payment details on my P60 not match my annual salary?

A: Your P60 will show total taxable pay for the year. If you have any salary sacrifice deductions (such as pension or Childcare Vouchers) your taxable pay will be reduced.

 

Q: Can I email payment forms to Payroll?

Q: I recently left my employment at the University, can I get a copy of my P45?

A: P45’s are issued electronically and are available on MyView along with your payslips.  Please ensure that you log onto MyView to collect your documents within 30 days of your leave date.  HMRC legislation prevents duplicate P45’s from being issued.  We can issue a statement of earnings which contains the same information if this is required.  Please contact the Payroll Coordinator for your area if you have not been able to download your P45.
