NI incorrect

Previously not had any issues with Payroll until forced to change over last October time. This is my 2nd payroll in the next tax year and both times it is now showing that I need to pay Employer NI for a specific employee:

 

Employee earned £474.34 this month

Pay period: 01/05/2025 to 31/05/2025
Pay date: 30/05/2025

 

NI showing in Quickbooks as £8.60 and sending this to HMRC via FPS.

 

Last month (April) £443.90 paid with me required to pay £4.03

 

I qualify for Employment Allowance (and have this enabled in my settings). 

Strangely I have noticed:

 

"Employment Allowance EPS
06/04/2025 - 05/04/2026 Accepted 
Due 29/04/2025
Filed on 12/05/2025"
but I did not do this either.

Any ideas how I prevent Quickbooks from trying to force me to pay NI as it's making me have a bill in HMRC portal and being taken by DD when I don't believe it needs paying.
