More Information
- Let the payroll system calculate the person's wage for the final pay period in the normal way.
- If the person is receiving paid redundancy, work out this amount out manually and enter as a "Post Tax add.(+)" (unless the amount is more than £30,000 ,when it is both taxable and applicable to National Insurance).
- Close the payroll period as normal.
- In the following week enter them as a payroll leaver using " Payroll Maintenance Options Payroll Settings Enter Payroll Leavers".
- Enter the employee code and the leaving date and press <F7>.
- This will bring up the following message
"Have you closed the last period in which this employee should be paid?"
YES NO
Because you have done this in the previous step click [YES].
- Once this is done, the system will print a P45 then press <Esc> and press <Esc> again.
- The employee will now disappear from any remaining payroll periods.
