Question

Payroll Employee should have been excluded

I have processed last week's wages and submitted the FPS.

It has come to light that one of the employees should not have been paid.

Can I open the payroll and exclude the employee from this payroll.

If so would the adjusted FPS automatically be sent to HMRC?

The employee should have a separate pay run frequency. If I do the above, can I then change his pay run frequency and pay him this week?

Hi CATHG, thanks for your post 🙂

 

The payroll would need to be rolled back and re-opened to remove the employee, and then re-ran and re-submitted to HMRC as a correction to an earlier submission so that this overwrites the FPS that they have already received for the period. A separate pay schedule would then need to be created and assigned to the employee in question. If you're unsure of the actions to take to complete this, please reply with the version of the payroll that you're using, Standard or Advanced, so that we can provide a step-by-step.
