PAYE Scheme

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a PAYE reference number, i submitted the application om 30th August and have heard nothing ?

Hi,
PAYE references can take up to 30 days as outlined at Register as an employer from the date registration is made.
You can use the following link to check when you can expect a reply:

Thank you.

Hello,
If you’re taking on an employee that is earning less than £123 per week with you, but they also have a second job, do you need to register them for PAYE?
Or is this not needed as you are still paying them less than £123 per week?
Does the amount earnt in the other job affect this?
If they earn less than £123 per week in job A (the other job) and B (my job) combined?
If they earn less than £123 per week in each job?
They earn less than £123 per week in job B but over in job A?
Thank you

Hi Hayley24,
Yes, if an employee already has other employment income or a pension, you must register for PAYE, even if their pay is below the £123 weekly limit. 
The employee should fill out a starter checklist to declare their situation. 
Typically, they will choose statement C, indicating another job, which means you need to deduct tax on a BR cumulative basis. 
You can register as an employer here: Register as an employer and the link to the starter checklist: Starter checklist for PAYE
Thank you.
