2x WFM Release Notes

Please see below for details of two Workforce Management release notes.
The release date for both of these is 14th January 2021.

WFM Release Note - FPS Submission Following Rollback Changes

What’s Changing?
The way in which the Full Payment Submission (FPS) submits data to HMRC following a rollback. Only the information for employees whose pay has been amended will be resubmitted.

Reason for the Change
In April 2021, the way in which Earlier Year Updates are submitted to HMRC will change. In preparation for this, Fourth has made enhancements to the way that in-year-amended FPS reports are sent following a rollback and/or amendment of an employee’s payslip.

WFM Release Note - Payroll Preview & Close Enhancements

What’s Changing?
A new process that allows the running of a payroll preview and closure of pay runs in the background, meaning that users can close down their portal, or move screens without affecting the preview or payroll.

Reason for the Change
The current process requires users to stay on the specific preview or payroll close screen whilst the process is completing. For larger payrolls, this can mean that users are unable to proceed with other aspects of their day until the process has finished.

If you have any questions about either of these release notes, please comment below.

Best,
Paul
Fourth
