Employment Law? Help!

Are you in a trade union?

If you are, you should probably speak to your union rep, and get some advice, as (s)he should be at least a knowlegable as someone at citizens advice, but would also be much more familar with arangements at your empolyer.

Also, if your employer is trying to pull a fast one, your union rep should be able to smell it a mile off.

Surely you just get taxed on your total gross wage? Your tax allowances don't change just because you have more than one job?

This is correct.
Income tax is calculated on total earnings for the year while National insurance is calculated on a week by week basis.

You do, but because you've used up your tax free allowance on your first job you'll start at 22% - 40% tax for every penny on your 2nd job*

Still, I'm awaiting someone to come here armed with links to the HMRC gov site to correct me
