Hello,

 

I have employed an employee for 18 months now and I have now been advised by HMRC to begin taking Student Loan Deductions (Plan).

 

I have clicked on payroll and employee and have look in 'Workplace pension, loan & other deductions' to see how to turn this on, but have had no luck. Do I need to select something so deductions are calculated when I run payroll. I am struggling to see where I action this.

 

I'd appreciate any guidance. Thank you

Yes, you will need to select the right plan type as per HMRC's advice and set up the payroll to ensure deductions are calculated correctly, lovebartonoxford I'll guide you through the process to ensure everything is a breeze for you.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), head to the Payroll menu on the left panel and choose Employees.
  2. On the Payroll screen, look for the employee you're working on from the list and select the name to show more details.
  3. In the Workplace pension, loan & other deductions section, click the Edit link to view more options.
  4. Navigate to the Deductions and contributions section and click the Add deduction/contribution link.
  5. In the Add deduction/contribution window, press the Deduction/contribution type drop-down and pick the appropriate option.
  6. From the Type drop-down, choose the right option: After-tax deduction or Repayment.
  7. Enter a name in the Description field to identify the paytype.
  8. Click Save and Done.

Take a look at this article for more in-depth information about the process: Set up voluntary deductions in QuickBooks Online Core Payroll. It includes instructions to edit or remove the payroll item.
