Import employees using an FPS file
Description

You may have used another payroll software to pay your employees. It's likely you'll have submitted a Full Payment Submission (FPS) to HMRC each time you paid them.

The FPS includes a record of your employee details. You can import this information into Sage Payroll. It creates your employee records. If you have many employees, importing them can save you lots of time.

 NOTE: This process can also be carried out after you have set up the payroll.

Resolution

When importing employees from an FPS file, use the most recent file available. This is to ensure your employee information is as up-to-date as possible.

You'll need the following information:

  • Your company's auto-enrolment staging date

  • Your pension scheme information

  • Your employee's auto-enrolment status information

 NOTE: The FPS file needs to be in a .xml format and must be no bigger than 25MB. 

 Check and update your employee information

The final stage of the FPS import process is to review the imported employees and add any information not included in the import.

 CAUTION: You must update your imported employees with a start date and information from the sections below. Do this before processing a pay run.

To help you do this, we've created a checklist that links you to the relevant area of Sage Payroll.
