To pay your employees, you need to set up different Payments. These help you organise and control how your employees receive and view their pay. This will then show on their payslip.

You can determine if the payment is:

• Subject to Tax and National Insurance (NI)
• Included in a pension calculation
• Paid as a lump sum or at an hourly rate

You can create as many payments as needed and use each one for all your employees.

Payment types

Payroll supports different payment types, organised into payment categories.

When you create a new payment, you base it on one of these payment types. This determines whether it’s a subject to PAYE and NI.

Create a new payment

You can create as many payments as you need. Once done, you can add it to your employees during a pay run.

To see how to do this, read Create a payment.

Edit a payment

There are limitations to editing a payment, once it's created. If necessary, you can create a new one to replace the incorrectly set up one.

To edit the monetary value of a payment, you must select the relevant employee when processing the pay run.

Delete a payment

You can’t delete payments entirely in Payroll, but you can remove payments from an employee when you’re processing the pay run.
