    it is my understanding that the cessation date on a p45 of an employee who accepts payment in lieu of notice, leaving immediately, is the date they physically leave the company and not the final date of the period covered by the in-lieu payment.
    I see nothing that contradicts this? Can someone with knowledge please confirm?
    Thank you.

    It's either/or. You and the company agree on the date of cessation.

    "Pay in lieu of notice" is usually gardening leave - for contractual purposes you are still employed by the company during your notice period, but you have agreed that you will no longer be attending work and will just get paid.

    The situation where your notice period is actually waived is relatively rare in my experience. Even if the employee and the company aren't seeing eye-to-eye they'll usually opt to have you available for your notice period in the event that something comes up which they need you to address.

    In the situation Im referring to it was very much a case of waiving the notice, and the company saw sense and marked the cessation date as the date the person physically left.

    Link above points it out, under heading 'Payment instead of notice', 3rd paragraph.
