I’m trying to pay an employee who has a job elsewhere and has a BR Tax code.  How do I set him up in payroll so that the deductions are correct

Best answer by MirriamM

Just the standard payroll.


Good to see you back, @liz-brown.

 

It's my priority that you'll be able to set up the employee and make it clear that this is their 2nd job. All you would need to do is update the tax code, the tax code would then adjust any calculations for HMRC. We do see you may have further questions on this. You're welcome to add them onto this thread.

Or to connect with one of Payroll Support within your QuickBooks Online account, follow the below steps:

  1. From the Help menu, click on Payroll.

Good day,  Neil Stafford. I'm here to help keep the process of setting up your employee easy and simple.

 

You can follow the step-by-step process of setting up your employee and choose BR for their tax code.

 

  1. Click the Employees or Payroll menu in the left panel and choose Employees.
  2. If you are setting up your first employee, select Add your first employee.
  3. Fill in the employee’s legal first name and last name, then select Add my Employee.
  4. Choose the employee's gender, date of birth, email address, and address. Click Save and next.
  5. Enter the employee's start date, their pay type, and how much you pay them.
  6. Select whether the employee has been paid since 6 April. Depending on your answer, you will be required to fill in different fields: Note: You can check the pay history to get a list of information that can help set up your employees.
    • Yes, by another business - check the employee's P45 to find how much they have earned this year, and how much tax they have paid.
    • Yes, by my business - use their latest payslip and P11 to fill in the boxes with the amounts you have paid them so far this year.
  7. Tap Save and next.
  8. From the employee's tax information, select the BR Tax Code then click Save and next.
  9. Review the information on the last page. If you are happy with this, or you need to make any changes, hit Done.

 

For more details about setting up employees, check out this article: Add employees in QuickBooks Online. This will provide you links about tax code meaning as well as how it's calculated in QuickBooks.

 

Keep me posted if there's anything else you need. I'm always here to help you out. Have a great day!

So if its a second job and they are still employed in the original job what do you put in the pay history.

 

They have been paid by another company but are still being paid by that company.

 

I have not paid them anything this year so far

Hi Neil.

Did you manage to resolve this? I have exactly the same query. Adding an employee that has a 'main' job and this will be their second one. Tax code BR is fine, but I want to make it clear this is their second job. So what did you put in as their pay to date? Did you just take the YTD value from their payslip in the month before engagement of their second job?
