If you have made a mistake in a pay run you have already processed, you can use the Edit pay run feature. This provides two options, Edit pay and Edit absence.  NOTE: You can only edit employees included in the original pay run. For more information on this, read Can I add an employee to a completed pay run?
▼Some example of when to edit the pay run - Forgotten to pay overtime
- Used the wrong tax code
- Didn't include a student loan
- Incorrect NI category used
- Need to opt in/out an employee from a pension
- Change date of an absence
When making a change, Sage will recalculate the employee's figures so you can see the effect it has. Then when saving the change, you’re given two options on how you want to deal with any difference in the employees net pay. ▼Show difference in the next pay run Use this option if you want the difference to show the next time you pay them. A Correction line will appear for the net difference of the changes made. If the employee was underpaid, this will show under the payment section. If the employees' overpaid, this will show in the deduction section. ▼Do not show difference in the next pay run Use this option if you’re handling the difference before you next pay your employees. For example, you have already made/planning to make a separate payment to an employee to account for an underpayment in wages. No Correction line will appear on the employees' payslip. For more information about corrections, read Understanding payroll corrections. After saving a change A Full Payment Submission (FPS) will automatically sends to HMRC to inform them about any changes in the current tax year. If the changes affect a previous tax year, you may need to send a Supplementary FPS. For more information on this, read Supplementary FPS. |
