Auto Calculate Statutory Maternity Pay
When a worker has a baby in the UK they are entitled to Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP). Whether they are entitled to the SMP, the amount they are due to receive and the period that they are due to receive it is attached to some entitlement criteria set by the government. In MDA you can now create SMP for Contractor and CAE workers with our new automated calculation!

Quarterly Statement of Earnings for Self Employed/CIS
From the 26/27 tax year, Self-Employed (including CIS) people are required to make quarterly submissions to HMRC for their Income & Expenses in the Tax Quarter. To make this submission, they will need to collate information for their payments to submit to HMRC. We now have quarterly statements for SE/CIS available in MDA.

Payroll Improvements
We have made a number of improvements to the payroll functionalities in the system.
Multiplying court order deductions by pay intervals. Where a worker has more than one pay interval on their payroll, the system will now take this into account when deducting a court order and multiply by that pay interval.
Timesheet Upload with Location. When you upload a timesheet with a column mapped to Location, previously if that was left blank this was causing an issue when creating the group invoice. We have fixed this issue so the invoice will map correctly.
Ghost Mapping. The system will now look at the invoice W/E date rather than the invoice date when you are mapping ghost invoices to live workers.
Soft warning for zero hours in PBE. We are now displaying the warning message for CAE people where hours cannot be negative or zero in the PBE report where NMW units are zero.
Roll back payroll for VAT filed payrolls. We have given provision to roll back payrolls where the VAT is filed. The VAT will be adjusted in your next VAT quarter.
Other System Improvements
Future date the employment start and date. Previously you could not enter a date in the future for start or end date however we recognise you may onboard workers who are not due to start work until a future date.
Amend start date of assignment. You can now amend the start date of the worker's assignment, no need to delete and recreate!
