What's this on my pay slip?

I have some money that I get paid everything month with my salary, under the heading 'Basic Adjustment' on my payslip.
I plan on speaking to my USELESS payroll department soon but does anyone have any idea what this basic adjustment thing might be?

overtime? or worked bank holidays or something?
other than that im drawing a blank
i wish they'd made it a bit clearer on the pay slip though and im suspicious that they still havent paid me the full amount im owed. thanks for the replies, looks as though the mystery is solved.
and yes i have come off the emergency tax code recently, owed £600 in tax back.does anyone know how long it takes for the inland revenue to refund roughly?
They had a backlog a couple of months ago, took me about a month or so to get mine back? Still reckon I'm owed more, I think they didn't tax me at all one week, and that was it.
Saying that I had the same thing a couple of years back and I got refunded £900 because I didn't realise I'd been paying emergency tax for about a year
That came back to me literally the same week my tax code got changed.
I think if you've an incompetent payroll department then it makes it harder.
If so, write to your local dept asking them to review your 05/06 year, and enclose your P46.
If you havent, call either the IR or your last employer
...however while you're at it, find out how long mine will be!
Send in the P60, A P46 will get you absolutely nowhere.
Any In year changes to your code should create a repayment (should one be due) during the month your code is changed as your employer actually administers this when they do the payroll. Once the year has ended and you want to claim any repayment then send in your P60 with a covering letter and they can assess it for you. If your expecting it to be done automatically you will be waiting a long time.
