Plan ahead for payroll year end 2024

Get ready to install your update

The update includes legislation for both 2023/24 and 2024/25 tax years, so you can install it as soon as it's available in early March.

To ensure your installation goes smoothly, we recommend you complete these preparation steps.

If you have IT support who install your payroll updates, you should advise them of this upcoming update.

Check if you have a week 53

 NOTE: If you pay your employees monthly, then you don't have a week 53. Or, if you don't pay your employees on a Thursday or Friday, you won't have a week 53.

If you pay your employees weekly, fortnightly or four weekly AND your regular pay date falls on 4 or 5 April, then you do have a week 53. This is simply an extra pay period, and you can process it as normal.

Week 53 falls on two days, as 2024 is a leap year:

• Thursday 4 April 2024
• Friday 5 April 2024

Find out how to identify and process week 53.
