PAYE unaccounted for

I've been working for a company for the past 2 and a half years. I've been paid a monthly salary of R6500 before deductions. I was recently asked by our company's HR assistant, for my tax number. I was under the impression that I'd already been registered - on my payslip it states that I've been paying R45 tax. I contacted SARS gave in my details and they informed me that I wasn't registered. I've asked the HR assistant what the PAYE was and she mentioned it was R7000. I'm just really concerned and unsure how to approach the situation.

Request a copy of your IRP5 from your HR for each year you have worked for the company. There should be a tax number on it, and it should also reflect your total PAYE contributions.
