What should I do? Pls help me!?

I have a question. I have worked for a company for 4-5 days. But I was fired. I had an interview where I was asked whether I worked before or not! I lied I didn't. But I think that my P45 must be given to my new employer. So, Is it really important or not? Because he will recognize that I tell lie. What should I do to keep the new work??? I don't care if I never could get the money or the tax from my previous work! I care only the new work! Thank You!

You don't HAVE to give your P45 - not just for the sack, but if you don't want your new employer to know your earnings for the previous tax year. You would have to go onto an emergency tax code though. Phone up your local tax office and they will explain what to do.

ps the new tax year is April 2008.

perhaps they don't want a liar working with them

confess now. see your boss or Human Resources. There is a chance you may be kept on, but they have every right to fire you. If you don't they may find out anyway and then fire you.

If you can put off starting your new job to the new year you will be into a new tax year and therefore will not have to present a P45 for the previous year, otherwise I'm afraid you have to present it, it's not for your new employers benefit that a p45 is used but for the Revenue Commissioners.

Ps. With relation to the tax year - in the UK it starts in Apri but in Ireland, which is where your question relates, it is from January.

Everyone has to start somewhere.. at some stage everyone had a first job. suppose the lie depends on wat kind of job you were doing.. If it was operating some kind of machinery it would be better not to lie for health & safety reasons also if you didn't know how to do the job you could be wasting the companys time as the position was probably for an experienced person not a traniee.. depending what job you will go for this time it would be in your best interest to tell the truth.. Employers appreciate honesty.. If you have no experience say you haven't.. you'd never know there could be a vacancy for a traniee..

let this be a lesson to you
Don't Lie
