What’s Changing?
The ability to update the P45 Delivery Method on all employee records without having to go into each record individually.
Proposed Release Date: 11th April 2019.
Reason for the Change
Currently in HR & Payroll it is possible to update at company and pay basis level the P45 Delivery Method. However, this does not automatically change existing employee’s delivery methods within the pay basis. It can take a lot of manual effort for users to update these one by one, especially on large payrolls.
Customers Affected
All HR & Payroll customers.
Release Notes
To update the P45 Delivery Method on all employee records:
All employees associated to that pay basis will have their P45 Delivery Method updated accordingly, whether it is Email, Paper or ESS.

It will still be possible to have individual employees on different Delivery Methods by updating them individually.
‘ESS’ as a Delivery Method
A new Global Setting will be created that, when applied, will allow ESS (Employee Self Service) to be selected as a P45 Delivery Method at both pay basis and employee level.

This Global Setting will be turned off by default.
Only customers using ESS will be able to apply this Global Setting. For all other customers, it will be greyed out.
