Question about a deduction on my payslip, a line called advance

[saitrix]

Hi,

Just got my payslip today from work and I'm not too sure on the deductions that have been made. In short I got about double my usual pay due to work having to catch up paying me (their fault with being slow with the required paperwork). So fair enough when I see that I have paid more tax and national insurance than usual, thats to be expected. I then noticed the biggest deduction made was a line called 'Advance'.

I have never seen that before on my payslip and neither had any of the managers. I am just wondering whether anyone could shed any light on what it might be before I ring up payroll about it tomorrow.

Have they ever paid you out of petty cash before or given you money before your actual pay day ?

An 'advance' to me would be you've asked already for cash / pay during the month to be paid early..

could also be an internal purchase, we had funky company clothing we could buy and that was displayed as an advance on my slip

Nope, they gave me nothing to tide me over, even though my pay that month was less than half it usually was. I wasn't happy but fortunately I don't have rent etc needing to be paid.

No internal buying also, done nothing out of the ordinary. I've not asked for any cash too.

That's why you wear those Burger King clothes when you're not in work
