Payroll year end process - IRIS GP Payroll

Step 2: Issue P45s for employees not being paid

HMRC rules state that an employee should be made a leaver upon their final pay. This information is not always known. However, if you are not sure the employee is returning to work, they should be made a leaver on the final payroll of the year. should they return to work, they should be set up as a new employee.

If not already done so, you will need to produce the pension information for the single employee before making them a leaver.

To issue a P45:

1. Select Note an Employee Leaver.

2. Choose the required employee and then select OK.

3. Enter the employees leaving date.

   If the employee left in this tax year, enter the actual date. If they left in the previous year, enter 6th April.

4. Select OK.

   

5. Goto Select Employee.

6. Choose the required employee and select OK.

7. Select Publish to send the employee via to My ePay Window.

8. Select OK to save and print a paper copy.

You should make an employee a leaver after you have run payroll and BACS, but before submitting a Full Payment Submission (FPS). This makes sure they are marked as a leaver on the FPS, along with their final payment. If you make an employee a leaver after sending the FPS, they appear in the FPS for the next pay period.
