Process the final pay with statutory payments for an employee who has died
Description

In this scenario, SMP, SPP, ShPP, SAP and SPP(A) aren't subject to NI. You should pay SMP, SPP, ShPP, SAP and SPP(A) for the week in which the employee dies, but not for any weeks after that. To process the employee's pay so no NI is deducted, you must change the employee's NI category to X before you process the employee's pay.
