Payslips and P60s (documents or certificates containing tax payments and earnings) are important legal documents that should be kept safe at all times as they are a mandatory requirement in money lending institutions. They are also required mandatorily by Inland Revenues when applying for new jobs for National Insurance Contributions, for obtaining loans from banks, for mortgages, for pensions and for retirement schemes and many others.
However, they can be damaged or lost or rather misplaced in many ways especially when shifting houses, when house burns down, when traveling etc. as they are basically single, small slips of papers. You need to ensure that payslips are always kept in places where you can easily access them. They are not something which is to be viewed, understood and then dumped in the trash. You need to ensure that they are kept properly in a safe place.
This, in older times, would have called for a long procedure that required very many legal formalities and took very many days for completion, to reimburse them. However, these days, you can recover your payslip even if it's lost. To find out how, read the article; it will prove to be beneficial to you!
The good news is, currently online service providers who can reimburse or issue new P60s and payslips in a period not more than an hour are available. These are usually generated by computers and duly permitted and approved by Inland Revenues to ensure that the one requesting for them may get printouts of accurate documents with all the important details reflected in the printouts. Hand written payslips are illegal and unacceptable to financial institutions and therefore you should strictly avoid them.
There are many types of payslips and P60s offered by the online service providers.
Mailer P60s and Landscape P60s are printed using laser printers. On the other hand, portage P60s and Security P60s are printed using the high technology dot matrix printers. In case of emergencies, these online companies provide free calculators for noting down the salary accounts to ease in financial support.
When obtaining payslips from online service providers, one is required to have their code of the tax, their name, their employee's name, their national insurance number, their payment date, their net pay, their method of payment, their gross pay and all their deductions e.g. taxes. All this information is important and necessary so that your documents are legal and acceptable.
