I haven't long started doing payroll for my company, we process on a weekly basis and two weeks ago I had an employee dismissed suddenly.
I processed the payroll with this employees leave date as the Monday, however I have just been informed that he should have been paid till the Friday.
I have obviously submitted his P45 to HMRC with his official leave date, but now I need to pay him for an additional four days, for the rest of the week.
What's the best way for me to do this? Should I use the rollback facility or restore my data to a date prior to his departure> Any help will be much appreciated!
Since the P45 has already been sent to the employee/HMRC, you'll need to process it as a 'payment after leaving'. Your payroll software may do this automatically for you, but essentially you'll need to deduct tax at BR W1 and NI as a standalone payment. The figures will be reported on your P35 at tax year end for 2012/13.
