The RTI ID, also known as an employee’s Payroll ID, is a unique string of letters and numbers by which HMRC identifies employees on their side. Normally, this doesn't change once it's set. HMRC uses it to identify when an employee has moved jobs or has a second job. When you set Sage 50 Payroll up mid-year, ensure you set employees up with the same RTI ID as the previous payroll software. This avoids HMRC thinking the employee has a new or second job.
Enter the RTI IDYou must use the original RTI ID that the prior employer used. Contact HMRC or the previous employer to obtain this. NOTE: You can only amend the RTI ID field when you first create an employee's record. Once you've saved and created an employee's record, there's no way to change the RTI ID field. - Create the employee records with the correct RTI IDs.
- Re-process the payroll and submit a dummy fps for the last period liability was received by HMRC.
- Process the payroll for the next period and submit a live FPS.
