7. Payslips Every week or month you will be given a payslip from the company you are working for. They may not all look the same but they will have the basic information on it that we have discussed earlier. It is very important you check your payslip every month. You want to check that the amounts are correct and that you are paying the right amount of tax and National Insurance. If you notice that you are paying too much tax or National Insurance then you must check your tax code. If this is wrong then you will need to get into contact with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
