payroll tax period

Hi all,

i have clarified many of my doubts in this forum. thanks to everyone.

i have 1 more doubt as well.

i have my extension in Jan 2009. I had been doing a contract job for the first 5 months of my earning period.

My Jan month payslip shows Jan) as:

First page

Name: xxxx
Employee Number : xxxx
NI number: xxxx
Tax code: xxxx
paydate: 19th Feb 2008
payroll period 4th feb 08 - 2nd mar 08

on second page:

time sheet date amt
31st dec - 6th jan - xxxx
7th jan - 13th jan xxxx
14 jan - 20 jan xxxx
21 jan 27 jan xxxx

so for Jan month, it shows pay period as 4th feb - 2nd march though it is for jan month (timesheets are for jan.) this has happened for every month till the time i worked with this company.

can you please explain how i should put this on covering letter to explain to the HSMP team?

Thanks
