Payments

From the 'Payments' tab we can publish and print Payslips and P45s and create BACS files for third party payments e.g. PAYE due to HMRC, court order payments to the relevant issuing bodies and payments to other 3rd parties e.g. Union dues. Reports providing the underlying data relating to the BACS files can also be run from the 'Payments' tab.

The 'Payments' tab is accessed from the 'Pay Run' page. Click on the Payments action button from the Payroll path - note this is only available after the FPS has been successfully submitted to HMRC.

The top section of the 'Payments' screen shows Net Pay due to Employees. It is also used for publishing and printing Payslips and P45s. Third party payment BACS files and associated reports can be run generated from the links in the 'HMRC payments and attachments', Benefits' and 'Court Order' sections:

• Other payments

If the company pays its Employees other than by BACS, you should run the Employee Payments report to see how much each Employee should be paid.

Third Party Payments

The bottom section of the page shows an overview of Third party payments due for a period. For more details click the “Link to Report” link at the left of the screen. The total Employer contributions and Employee contributions are shown and then a Total payment column shows the total amount to be paid to third parties for the period.

To the right of the screen there is an Other payments column which can be used to record the date on which payments to third parties are made. Simply click the Date paid button to input today's date.
