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.

Use the Issue P45 facility to mark an employee as a leaver. To issue a P45:

1. Open the required company and select the employee.

2. Go to the Employee tab.

3. Select P45 Leaver.

4. Enter the Leaving Date.

   

5. Select OK.

6. Got to the Employee tab.

7. Select Print P45 for Leaver.

8. Choose P45 (Publish).

   

9. Go to Select.

10. Select Publish to send to My ePay Window.

    

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.
