CSLM10212 | FAQs: employers questions and answers: employee leaves: t/p is leaving before start date on start notice

Suggested answer

Even though you have not yet started to make Student Loan and or Postgraduate Loan deductions you should enter a 'Y' in the Student Loan box on the form P45.

This will instruct the new employer to begin making deductions.

File away the Start Notice for your own records.
