    2. Emailing P45s - [click here for article]

What have we done?

We have have now made it possible to email payslips and P45s from within the web system.

Why have we done this?

It is a legal requirement to distribute employees payslips and P45s and it has been an ongoing request from customers to have this available by email within the web application

How will you benefit?

You now have an extra mechanism by which you can distribute P45s as previously these were not available to email at all. On top of this we have made available the emailing of payslips in the web system. You will also be able to see the status of these emails from within the system itself so you know that the email has been sent.

  1. Various bug fixes and minor improvements

What have we done?

As part of this release we have fixed a number of items as detailed below

  • Access our online Knowledge Base through the desktop application. This can be done by clicking Help and then Knowledge base within the desktop app.
  • CSP Diary - Single days causing issues with routine that finds the periods of sickness
  • Bank Account Name Error- system wasn't letting account names longer than 18 characters be imported or saved. This has been rectified and they are trimmed on the bank file to the correct length
  • HMRC Messages that are received after an employee has been made a leaver can now be ignored. This action must be completed in the desktop system
  • Look up table sorting - we have improved certain look up tables so they are sorted alphabetically. The updated lists are:
    • Manage Employees>Personal>Job Details:
      • Department
      • Job Grade
      • Cost centre
      • Company Sick Pay Scheme
    • Manage Employee > Sick Pay > Advanced Setting > Work Pattern
    • Add Employee>company
  • Pension deduction improvement - Improvement so that customers can have pension schemes that have different deduction types - both % and amount based.
  • Cost Breakdown - fixed issue where imported values weren't immediately visible on the payslip after importing
  • Viewing previous payslips - fixed issue where trying to view previous payslips from within an open payroll cycle caused an error
  • Rates on payslips - Fixed issue whereby when a new relationship is added with a rate already in use, the rate was reinitialised causing rate to not display on historic payslips
  • Improved behaviour when an open pay cycle has no employees - you now have to add employees before you can click Edit payroll cycle
