Different scenarios The effective date falls within a period already processed. - Payroll applies it in the next period. This doesn't cause a problem as the tax will recalculate correctly. The effective date falls within a future period - Payroll will retain this information and only apply the change when relevant. The notice is for a leaver or a prior tax year - Applying the notice will automatically discard the notice as it is no longer relevant. How this effects the employee record The Employee record will show the new tax code or a message explaining there are pending/future dated tax code changes. This is displayed in a banner along the top of the window. When you apply a P6, the system locks the to-date figures and displays a status message. Pay run When you select Process pay run, any unactioned HRMC notices will generate a warning message. Choose the relevant option.

If you discard a notice in error, manually apply it in the employee record. |
