Holiday Pay

New Frequencies
We've added new frequencies in the system - Fortnightly and 4 weekly. To know more about it in detail, please visit the below article:
Employee Screen Improvements
You can now download the payslip for the employee (current period) in the time capture screen.
We've given the additional fields on the grid setting in the employees list screen (inc. bank details) so that you can spot-check anyone's details easily rather than going into the employee record individually and finding it out.
We have added an "Irregular paid" flag under employment details; you can select this checkbox if the employee is on casual/seasonal/maternity leave, etc., but you're still considering them as an employee. This flag will go on the FPS when the employee gets paid.
Added a new field, "Continuous start date", you can check this if you want to save the employee's original start date for workers acquired via TUPE. It will not impact anything calculation-wise currently. You can use this data for any enhanced policies of your clients.
You can now add "Nationality" for each employee.
You can now update the most recent personal info to reflect on all historical payslips for the employee. For example, if the employee's address is wrong on all the previous payslips, you can now just update the address correctly in the employee record, and it will reflect on all the historical payslips.
After you make someone a leaver, you can now use the same NI number as the leaver for the new worker; the system won't throw any error on this occasion.
When you make someone a leaver, you can now choose the leave date as the previous tax year's date.
Payroll Screen Improvements
When you send payrolls for approval to company users, it will now show you the list of company users that you're sending approval to. This would be helpful for you to review to make sure you're sending it to the right users beforehand.
We've added the W1M1 flag on the PBE report.
When you try to download P30, P32, PBE, Pay item listing report, we have added a new function to show the progress of your downloads before they get downloaded.
We're now pre-filling values when you submit EPS for the specific tax month. It will copy the P32 figures for that specific tax month here. EPS will show only YTD figures. So when you select tax month 1, it will show tax month 1's figures, and when you select tax month 5, it will show the YTD figures by adding figures for tax months 1-5. For "Employment Allowance Indicator", it will automatically fill based on your company details set for the employment allowance. Similarly for the App levy, it will show the total YTD figures until that tax month and will show the annual allowance amount based on your settings under the company details. Once the values are automatically filled, you can then review if all is okay and then submit it accordingly.
General Improvements
Added "Wise" bank file. So if you're using Wise Bank, you can set this up in your company details -> Bank, and then you can download this bank file once you complete the payroll.
While adding the company users, we have removed the "Select All" button for you to choose pay cycles correctly instead of selecting that option by mistake before registering the company user.
In the Pay item import, if the records fail and if you want to re-assign it correctly to the employees, we have given you the dropdown to choose employees without having to manually enter it and find them.
You will not be able to import pay items for the leavers. It will move to the "Failed" category.
