[lenny100]

a close frend of mine works for a retail company which recently went bust and closed most of it shops. thje remander have been saved by a takeover, by the original owner and a bank from india.

she has discoverd from another worker who used to work in other shops that 2008 and probably 2009 national insurance has not been payed even though it was taken from wages. she now despretly wants to get out but it afraide she will not be able to claim anything due to no fault of her own,

what should she do

As long as she has proof on her payslips that NI has been deducted from her wages she should be ok.

 

If she calls the NI helpline they can tell if her contributions are up to date.

 

Has she got her P60 for the relevent tax years, if so and it comes up on the NI systems that the employer hasnt paid, then all she needs to do is send a copy to them and they will up date it.

 

This actually happened to me last year when an ex employer went under and he hadnt paid HMRC the PAYE due, and they asked for a copy of my P60 for the short year.

As stated in the previous post, as long as taxes and NI deductions show on her payslip, she will not have any problem...

 

Now, you say that she desperately want to 'get out' but she is afraid that she will not be able to claim anything...

 

She can hand over her resignation, if that is what you meant in your post, as long as she gives statutory and/or contractual notice (one week notice if she has been working for her employer for less than two years, or check her contract/statement of employment particulars)... and she would be entitled to claim monies due (notice, holidays, etc...)
