Creating a pay batch2:49

"How do I create a new pay batch and set its tax country or state?"

If you employ different groups of people, each group may need different tax settings from different countries or states. Such groupings can be done with a different pay batch each.

To create a new pay batch and set its tax country or state:

  1. First, to create a pay batch, tap: "Menu", "Pay batches", then "New pay batch"
  2. And type in the pay batch's name.
  3. Optionally, you can also tap the circle and set the list colour and image.
  4. By default, it sets the country to its best guess, based on where you're located.
  5. To change the country, tap it, and select the country you'll be employing people in.
  6. Depending on the country you select, you may then also be asked to select the state, province, or territory you'll be employing people in.
  7. Now your new pay batch is all set. To add people, scroll down and tap: Add people
  8. Tap the people you want to add, then tap: Save
  9. And finally, if you tap on one of the newly added people, and tap Set rate, you'll see that their pay is in the currency of the country you selected.

You may notice:

  • That each time you change from one country or state to another, the page reloads.
  • And each time it reloads, some of the defaults, like the default payday settings, may change.
  • The automatic changes are intentional, and give you the most common default settings for each country or state.
  • If the automatic changes aren't what you want, go ahead and tap them to change them to what you prefer.

Keep in mind that:

  • Setting the pay batch's country is the only way to set the payment currency for any group of people.
  • Also, in addition to setting the currency, you're also setting all the tax rules for that group of people.
  • Also remember that once you pay any people in the pay batch, the country and state options become locked. In which case, you can't change it any more.
  • However, even though it may be locked, you can always create more new pay batches. And then set the new pay batches to any country or state of your choice.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about creating a new pay batch and setting its tax country and state!

Setting a person's pay batch1:53

"What do I need to consider when setting a person's pay batch?"

Most small employers only ever need a single pay batch. However, larger, or more complicated employers may want to set up multiple pay batches.

To set a person's pay batch:

  1. First, usually a person's pay batch is set during onboarding.
  2. However, there's two other places you can set a person's pay batch.
  3. To set a person's pay batch for only one person:
    Select the person on: "Menu", then "People"
  4. Then tap: "Pay", then "Pay settings"
  5. And change the setting for: "Pay batch"
  6. Once you change their pay batch, it auto-saves.
  7. To set a lot of people's pay batch all in one go:
    Select the pay batch you want to move the people into, on: "Menu", then "Pay batches"
  8. Then tap: "Settings", then "Pay batch settings"
  9. And scroll down and tap: Add people
  10. Once it slides out on the right, tap all the people you want to add.
  11. And tap: Save
  12. And finally, you'll see all the people you tapped now show up in the list of pay batch people.

Keep in mind that:

  • Once a person's been added to a pay batch, that person automatically receives the pay batch's settings, including.
  • The pay batch's tax rules, calculations, currency, payday schedule, and repeat payables.
  • The person also automatically receive the pay batch's time off settings, public holidays, pension settings, and advanced settings.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about setting a person's pay batch!

The "To-do" tab3:04

"How do I see a list of the upcoming tasks for my pay batch?"

As each week or month passes, a range of payroll tasks become due. Including paydays, tax payments, tax form submissions, and much more.

To see a list of a pay batch's upcoming tasks:

  1. First, select the pay batch on: "Menu", then "Pay batches"
  2. If you've already filed payslips from a pay batch, then its "To-do" tab is automatically the first tab you're shown.
  3. Otherwise, to open it, tap: "To-do" (at the top)
  4. By default, you'll see a list of the last one "From" months of tasks (at the top).
  5. Then below that you'll see the red "Today" line.
  6. And then below that you'll see the next three "To" months of tasks.
  7. To quickly show more "To" months of tasks:
    Scroll to the bottom of the page, and tap the down arrow button to add one month: (at the bottom)
  8. To change the number of "From" and "To" months that're shown:
    Tap open the bottom menu:
  9. Then tap "From" and "To" and set them to the number of months you'd like to see.
  10. And you'll see the range of the listing of tasks update.
  11. To complete all your "Due" tasks:
    Look for any bold blue circles saying: "Due"
  12. When you hover your mouse over any "Due" circle, you'll see important info. Including when it's actually due, how long before the deadline it's recommended to do it, and other notes.
  13. To do the task, tap on the link, and then work your way through the blue buttons until you reach the end.
  14. Then once you tap back to the "To-do" tab, you'll notice that the task you completed is now marked with a tick.
  15. And when you hover your mouse over the tick, you'll see info about who did it, and when it was done.
  16. Keep working your way through all the bold blue "Due" circles until each has changed to a tick.
  17. You can leave the light blue circles until a future date.
  18. The light blue circles are there as a reminder of tasks that could become "Due" in the coming weeks and months.
  19. To learn more about each one, hover your mouse over it and read the notes.
  20. And finally, if you're not sure about how to do any task, tap the watch button for each one to learn how it's done.

Keep in mind that:

  • If you've got multiple pay batches, each covering different countries, the tasks and dates could each be quite different.
  • However, if you've got multiple pay batches, all set to the same country, their tasks and dates may likely be quite similar.
  • Regardless, always remember to check back regularly on all your pay batches, so you don't miss any upcoming tasks that become due.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about keeping on top of any upcoming tasks in your pay batches!

  9. Then near the bottom of the list you'll see the total payment amount, and also notes on the government's bank details.
  10. Next, tap: Download payments
  11. Then tap the bank you use, and that bank's payment file's downloaded.

Also remember that:

  • If you don't see a "Taxes to pay" link, it could be because no taxes are currently due.
  • You may need to pay some payslips, which you can do by looking for the "Payday to file" link.
  • By processing a payday, you'll trigger some taxes to be due.

  17. And finally, you'll now only see HMRC notices for your selected people.

Keep in mind that:

  • If you've ever got multiple pay batches all sharing the same "Employer PAYE reference", those pay batches each show the same set of: "HMRC notices"
  • Also, for every auto-scheduled change that involves a person, two copies of an HMRC notice are emailed out.
  • One is emailed to the person involved, and the other to the pay batch's payday admin.
  • However, some "HMRC notices" are only ever emailed to the payday admin.
  • Including company tax setting changes, info updates like P11D(b) messages, CIS messages, and annual reminders.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about HMRC notices!

Payday admins2:11

"What does a payday admin do?"

The payday admin is the person who's in charge of responding to any of the pay batch's payday reminders. Including reminders about payslips, expense claims, and Tax Filing.

To set a pay batch's payday admin:

  1. First, select the pay batch on: "Menu", then "Pay batches"
  2. Then tap: "Settings", then "Pay batch settings"
  3. Next, scroll down to the "Payday admin" heading.
  4. By default, the payday admin is set to the person who created the pay batch.
  5. Tap it, to select the person you'd like to set as the pay batch's new payday admin.
  6. It's possible that the person you'd like as the new payday admin isn't showing in the list.
  7. If the person's not showing in the list, it's probably because the person doesn't have "Full payroll admin" permissions yet.
  8. To add a person to your org's list of payday admins, tap: Add (at the bottom)
  9. Then tap the person you want.
  10. Then change that person to: "Full ... payroll admin"
  11. And you'll now see the person listed, so you can now select them.
  12. Then tap: Save
  13. And finally, from now on, payday reminders, like expense claims and Tax Filing now all go to the new payday admin.

Keep in mind that:

  • The only people who'll ever show in the list of payday admins, are people with "Full payroll admin" permissions.
  • However, other people, besides the payday admin can also pay payslips, or approve expenses, as long as the person's got "Full payroll admin" permissions.
  • The difference with the payday admin is that it's only the payday admin who receives the pay batch's reminders, or requests for approval, like expense claims.
  • If your usual payday admin is away for a few days, it's recommended to switch the pay batch payday admin to another person.
  • Even if you only switch it for a few days. You can later switch it back.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about what payday admins do!

Filing payslips late2:46

"What happens when I'm late, and file payslips after their due date?"

Any time that a payslip's filed late to HMRC, you're required to state your late filing reason. The reason's then forwarded to HMRC.

To see how late filing of payslips looks:

  1. First, select the pay batch on: "Menu", then "Pay batches"
  2. Then tap: "Pay", then "People"
  3. On the "People" report, each green circle represents a filed payslip.
  4. Where there's no green circle, then that pay period's payslip hasn't been filed yet.
  5. If you tap where a green circle's missing, you'll see that person's un-filed payslip for that date.
  6. And (at the top) you'll see a warning that it's late, and how late the payslip is.
  7. To file it now, scroll down and tap: Go to "Pay now" report
  8. The person's payslip is automatically selected, so to file it tap File now, and then: Yes ... file it
  9. Because the payslip's filing's late, you'll be asked to select the "Late filing reason", then tap: Next
  10. It usually takes 15 to 20 seconds for HMRC to finish processing the payslips and send back confirmation that it's been received.
  11. Once it's been filed successfully, you'll see a green tick beside the payslips that you've filed.
  12. However, because it's been filed late, it's also marked with a small red dot.
  13. Then back on the "People" report, tap the "Reload tab" button: (at the top), to update the newly filed green circles.
  14. And finally, you'll now see the recently filed payslips are now also marked with a green circle, meaning it's been filed and confirmed by HMRC.

Keep in mind that:

  • A payslip's filing is only considered late if it's filed at any time after the day that it's due.
  • Which means that if it's filed up to 11:59 at night, then it's not considered late.
  • However, if it's filed at 12:00 at midnight, or after, then it's marked as a late payslip filing.

To learn more:

  • About HMRC's "Late reporting reason", go to GOV.UK.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about what happens when you file late payslips!
