Additional Announcements
Before we get into what we are developing and what is approaching release, here are some additional announcements that will impact UK HR & Payroll customers:
- Employment Conflict Resolution
- Updated Payroll Preview, Past Pay Run Report, and Weekly Overview Report Export Options
These items were first mentioned in What We're Working On | WFM UK | 2 Jul 2026 and are repeated here for consistent messaging. Please refer back to that article for full details.
Employment Conflict Resolution
As a reminder, this feature will be enabled for all customers from 1st October 2026. It can be enabled early on request, and we encourage this so you have time to prepare ahead of the deadline.
Updated Payroll Preview, Past Pay Run Report, and Weekly Overview Report Export Options
As a reminder, XLSX and CSV will be available as additional export formats from 6th August 2026, alongside the existing XLS format. This can also be enabled early on request.
If you would like either of these enabled early, or have any questions, please reach out to your Customer Success representative.
Upcoming Releases
The following items are nearing completion and are likely to appear soon in one of our upcoming releases. This is an early heads-up, so you can make plans where necessary.
- Absence in Hours (Part Day)
- CSP Entitlement: FTE-Based Weeks Calculation
- Payrolling Benefits in Kind (PBIK)
Absence in Hours (Part Day)
As a reminder, this feature is in its final stages. Absence Imports (extended to support SSP and CSP paid state) is now complete. The remaining areas still being finalised are seriously nearing completion:
- Salary Paid Offset for absence recorded in hours
- Employment Change Behaviour, handling salary, FTE, or employment type changes mid-absence
- Absence Export, introducing both a summarised and detailed breakdown view, now with just minor changes remaining and having progressed significantly over the past few weeks
This work was first mentioned in What We're Working On | WFM UK | 18 Jun 2026 and later updated upon in What We're Working On | WFM UK | 2 Jul 2026. We are still hopeful on a full release in Q3 2026, and we will continue to keep you updated as we move closer to that point.
We have also extended the scope slightly to include a UI update, giving users the ability to view a full SSP/CSP breakdown for each absence, including qualifying days, daily rates, payment dates, and running totals. This is still in progress, with some UI adjustments and testing remaining, but is progressing nicely. This is currently scheduled to go out alongside the full Absence in Hours release, though we will look to release it earlier if possible.
CSP Entitlement: FTE-Based Weeks Calculation
As a reminder, we are developing an enhancement to how Company Sick Pay entitlement is configured and calculated, allowing CSP allowance to be defined in weeks at the contract level, with the system converting this into days based on each employee's FTE. This will also extend to Length of Service increments, which will support a weeks-based approach in the same way.
This work was first mentioned in "What We're Working On | WFM UK | 2 Jul 2026" and continues into Q3 2026. We do not yet have a confirmed release date. Please refer back to that article for full details, and we will continue to provide updates as things progress.
Payrolling Benefits in Kind (PBIK)
We are pleased to share that development is underway on two pieces of work within the Payrolling Benefits in Kind module.
The first is the implementation of Company Car and Car Fuel Salary Sacrifice benefit. This will allow the system to automatically use whichever is higher of the Salary Sacrifice (Amount Foregone) or the calculated BIK amount for Company Car Benefit, depending on whether the vehicle is over or under 75g/km in emissions. This piece also includes the ability to configure an automatic deduction, as a negative payment, each pay period that the benefit is active, directly via the company benefit itself.
Separately, we are also beginning work on BIK Module roll-forward, which will operate automatically as part of the Payroll Module roll-forward. This will carry benefits across into the new tax year where no stop date is present, removing the administrative burden of starting calculations and notional pay afresh each year, along with the necessary end of year provisions for P11D(b) and RTI submissions. This work also includes preparation for the 2027 tax year, though this is currently dependent on updated legislation and RTI schema from HMRC, expected in Autumn 2026.
We do not yet have a confirmed release date for either piece of work, and development is still in its early stages (with the Salary Sacrifice Car Benefit further along). We will continue to provide updates as things progress.
