They most certainly are. When I left I informed them in writing well in advance that I had no intention of seeking paid employment. Followed it up with a couple of phone calls to ensure they had received and actioned said letter.
Yet sure enough, despite the first advice from paymaster having the correct coding, the 2nd one had been changed to BR and no personal allowance applied!
Somewhat messed up my budget calculations, took 3 months to sort and another 7 months to get the tax refunded...
