Have any leavers had any problems getting their p45 issued? My manager did not communicate what I needed to do until today.

~ scroll on past if you can’t help please or have no useful input (found a troll last time I posted🧌) ~

I would have thought a competent manager would tell you immediately if you have to request this yourself, especially since I’m not the only leaver of recent - talk you through the process. I had to chase this a few days ago to find out today.

I was told to ring HRSS. I was on hold for about 15 mins to be told to fill out a submission form on public assess web link. Attempted- failed (wouldn’t let me submit even though everything was filled out) I called them back (2nd call got through to the faster at least, 5 mins ish) they wouldn’t take the request over the phone and they said to try again in an hour which I now have and it’s now worked.

That’s all great, the problem now is that I’ve been told that it could still take months (example: a while ago someone left and received it 2 months later)

A change of jobs can be complex enough. I’ve already started my new jobs after completing all my initial training and it’s really winding me up and making me feel ever grateful for leaving and getting out. It has stressed me out a little chasing it today. I feel like it shouldn’t be on me.

I’m thinking of sending a formal letter too to push it forward because 2 weeks+ isn’t reasonable no matter whose fault it may be. I’m also considering reporting them to hmrc to have compliance investigated if I don’t receive it in the next week - I put a 7 day deadline on the request too.

I left Asda recently mostly because of all the changes we were seeing in express. Some were positive, some were just frustrating and quite frankly I lost the love for it a few years ago so it was certainly the right time, although the site itself self will always be special to me.

Noticeably less extra hours repeated over months although luckily no contract changes. Being an express it’s a much smaller team (20ish colleagues) but if you didn’t ask, the younger ones that never say no always got the shifts. Poor training and communication were other factors.

They started to push upselling last year and hardly anyone has got behind it bar our area manager that seems to change far too often. Even my ex manger didn’t seem to agree and thought it wasn’t part of Asda core values which makes me question whether or not they still enjoy their job if even they rebel a bit from change - not morally agreeing.

There were other things along the way, of course. Disciplinaries that broke down the working relationship between me and my manager to an irreparable state (even though I tried to improve this) - one of which was extremely petty, messed with my mental health and I won an appeal for. Ironically just before they brought in all the wellbeing posters.

I’m not wanting to discuss this but ~ The final blow for me was the P-A-Y. It’s embarrassing that they think minimum wage is enough for next few months with the current state of the world, even Tesco are offering better.
