Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

Make an employee a leaver if you haven't paid them in the current tax year, when using Sage 50 Payroll.

Description

To create a P45 for an employee who hasn't been paid in the current tax year, update the employee with zero values. Then follow the normal leaver process and submit a full payment submission (FPS). Let's do this now.

Resolution

Update the records with zero values

  1. Click Payroll then click Change Process Date.
  2. Check the process date is the current pay period you're running.
  3. Double-click the employee and click the Employment tab.
  4. Make sure the tax code is 0T.
  5. Select the Week 1/Month 1 Basis check box.
  6. Click Save, then click Close.
  7. Select the required employee then click Enter Payments.
  8. Check all values appear as zero.
  9. Select the Select this check box if your employee is leaving and this is their final payment check box.
  10. Click OK then click Save/Next.
  11. Click Close then click Update Records.
  12. Click Yes then click Next.
  13. Click Next then, if required, click Next.
  14. Click Finish then click OK.

Make the employee a leaver

  1. Select the required employee then click Employee.
  2. Click Leaver then click Next.
  3. Enter the leaving date then run the required reports.
  4. Click Finish then click Yes.
When you next Submit the full payment submission (FPS), this notifies HMRC that the employee's left.
