CSLM11211 - FAQs: borrowers questions and answers: changing employment: how is my new employer told to make deductions?
Suggested answer
If you have been making repayments through your previous employer, the form P45 you were given when you left that employment should contain an entry in the Student Loans box. When this is given to your new employer, this indicates to them that deductions should continue to be made.
Your new employer will also ask you to supply some ‘starter checklist’ information which will include a question about your student loan and or postgraduate loan. You should tell your employer if you are in the process of repaying an Income Contingent student loan and or postgraduate loan and they will then make deductions from your next available pay-day.
If you’re not sure which repayment plan you’re on, you can sign in to your online account to check. Your employer should not contact the Student Loans Company.
