Problem

I need to make an additional payment to an employee after I've sent them marked as a leaver on an FPS.

Resolution

If you are recalculating the employee’s final pay
(amending the final payslip, not making another payment)

  • From the main screen, click on ‘Note an Employee Leaver’:
GP RestLvr 1 | Payment made to an employee after they have left
  • Select the relevant employee from the drop-down list of employees
  • Select ‘Remove the Leaving Date’:
resizedimage500332 GPPPay After Leaving | Payment made to an employee after they have left

The system will check if the employee has already appeared on an FPS as a leaver. If they have, a warning message will appear:

‘Are you restoring this employee to make adjustments to their current pay rather than making an additional payment after the employee has left?‘

Note: HMRC systems will now allow you to restore a leaver and continue paying them permanently, without having to set up a new employee record. If the employee was marked as a leaver in a previous tax year you still need to create a new employee record.

  • Click‘Yes’ to restore the leaver
  • Make adjustments as required to the employee’s current pay period
  • Remember to enter the Leaving Date again via ‘Note an Employee a Leaver’ prior to sending the FPS. If you wish to carry on paying this employee (ie. they were set as a leaver by mistake, or they decided not to leave) do not re-enter the leave date, carry on with payroll as normal.

If you are making an additional payment after the employee’s leave date:

  • From the main screen, click on ‘Note an Employee Leaver
  • Select the relevant employee from the drop-down list of employees
  • Tick ‘Payment after leaving
  • The system will check if the employee has already appeared on an FPS as a leaver. If they have, a warning message will appear:

‘Are you restoring this employee to make adjustments to their current pay rather than making an additional payment after the employee has left? 

Note: HMRC systems will now allow you to restore a leaver and continue paying them permanently, without having to set up a new employee record. If the employee was marked as a leaver in a previous tax year you still need to create a new employee record.

  • Click ‘No’ and the following message will appear: 

‘A Full Payment Submission including the leave date has already been sent to HMRC for this employee. Since this is a payment after leaving, the employee’s Tax Code will be set to 0T month 1.’

  • Click ‘OK
  • Pay the leaver as needed in the current pay period 
  • Remember to enter the Leaving Date again via ‘Note an Employee a Leaver
  • The employee will appear on the next FPS submitted

Please Note: If you have selected to do a payment after leaving by mistake and you are due to continue to pay the employee you will need to restore a backup from before you have restored the leaver. Once you have done this you can remove the leaving date again and select the correct option.
