Pay to an ex-employee

Maria Ramon Grasa
One of my customers is in a situation where they need to pay some ex employees who have left the business and possibly the UK. What will be the best way to pay them to ensure my customer covers their obligations in regards to NI and Tax?   Thank you and looking forward to your reply!

Hi {@0053z000008ySFgAAM}​ ,

 

If the employees' have been paid via Fourth before and have received a P45, then they can be added back to payroll as a leaver so that a one off payment can be made. The employees' will return to the payroll with a 0T tax code and will drop off the payroll again after the payroll has closed. This can be done by going to the current payroll and selecting the 'Add Leaver' hyperlink in the top right corner. Find the employee in the list and 'Add Leaver'> 'Save'.

 

The employees' will not receive a new P45, but the data will be sent to HMRC on the FPS.

 

Please note to check the Bank Details and Payment Method for the employees'. If they no longer live in the UK, then BACS payments cannot be processed. An alternative payment method will have to be arranged after the payroll has been processed.

 

If an employee has not been paid on Fourth before, an employee record will need to be created.

 

Many Thanks

Louise Wilson
