When not to advance pay

Don't advance pay for an employee if:

  • They're due a statutory payment
    You can't advance statutory payments, such as sick pay and parental pay. If any of your employees receive statutory payments, update these particular employees for each pay period. This ensures that tax and NI are correct

  • Your pension provider requires a contribution file for every period
    If your pension provider doesn't accept a single file to cover the full advanced period, process each period separately, instead of advancing pay

  • You process a salary sacrifice pension scheme
    We recommend you pay each pay period separately when processing a salary sacrifice scheme

  • The employee receives benefits
    Many benefits are calculated period by period, so it can cause confusion when you calculate and pay them using the Advance Pay option
