P45

"How does a person's P45 get sent when the person leaves?" 

The P45 is a form a leaving person gives to their next employer. 

A person's P45 is emailed out to them automatically when their final paystub is paid and filed. 

To send a person's P45: 

1. First, select the person who's leaving on: Menu > People 
2. Now, go to: More > Settings for dismiss, suspend, resign 
3. Scroll down and set the person's: Date employment ended 
4. Next, ignore the pop-up and click: Save 
5. And finally, pay the person's final paystub. 

To pay a person's final paystub: 

1. First, click: Final paystub 
2. Once the panel slides out on the right, scroll down and click: Go to "Pay now" report 
3. Next, click: Pay now 
4. And finally, click: Yes ... pay it 

Now that the person's paystub's being paid and filed with HMRC. 

In a few seconds you'll see a green check to show that the "Pay now" was filed successfully. If it's not there, look back later to see if it's updated. 

If you click the green check on the person's row, you'll see a page confirming the person's final paystub has been filed. 

Paying and filing a person's final paystub: 

• Automatically sends a person's P45 to their personal email as a PDF attachment. 
• If a person hasn't entered a personal email, their P45 is sent to their work email instead. 

When the person gets their P45 in their email, the person scrolls to the bottom, to see the person's P45 attached as a PDF. 

The person's P45 includes: 

• Their earnings for the year. 
• It also includes how much tax the person's been paid for the year.

Keep in mind that: 

• When a person starts their next job, the person needs their P45 to tell their new employer their tax code and other employment details. 
• Once a person's P45 is sent it can't be changed or updated. HMRC requires that there's only one P45 per employment. 

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about how a person's P45 gets sent!
