i worked a music festival for a security company and recieved 2 payslips 1 for 20 hours and 1 for 24 hours which i worked over 3 days and was wondering is this legal as ive been taxed on both slips so am fairly annoyed that why wasnt it one pay slip?anyone any ideas?

What difference does it make whether it's one or two payslips? You're not taxed on the basis of how many payslips you get.

It was probably as their working week is say sunday to saturday and you worked across 2 separate weeks for them

Although it was music festival it may be that you worked in 2 separate pay runs.

Example being they may pay from 00.00hrs Sat morning to 23.59hrs fri night.

If you worked fri, sat , sun then you'd get your friday hrs on one and sat/sun hrs on the other.

Obviously that's only a suggestion to what may be happening. Was it swords you were with

Would you not pay the same amount of tax if it was over 1 or 2 payslips?

If it was over different weeks its possible that splitting the pay run like this reduced prsi
