| | Description | When an employee leaves your company, you must notify HMRC and provide them with a P45. Also ensure that they’re excluded from any future payroll processing. To do this, you need to make them a leaver. If you pay your employee in arrears, enter their leave date after you process their final payment. This ensures they appear on your pay run. Their leaver information will be included in your next Full Payment Submission (FPS).  NOTE: If the leaver was in your workplace pension scheme, contact the pension provider. Inform them the employee has left.
