Updated
by Matt Jennings
We are pleased to announce the latest release of Payroll for web version 2025.3.0 and desktop version 2.63.2, released 15th January 2026.
These release notes will guide you through what's new in Payroll and provide links to the feature articles where required.
The next release for on-premise customers will be the year-end release.
New Features
Opt-In and Opt-Out from pension schemes in the web
What have we done?
We have introduced the ability to opt-in and opt-out employees from the automatic enrolment schemes in the web system.
To opt-in or opt-out an employee in the web system, from within the open payroll cycle on the pay elements tab, select the AE Pension button and select either Opt In or Opt Out

If the employee is not eligible to either opt in or out you will receive an error message.

If the employee is eligible for opting out, you will be presented with the following form to fill out

Once you have added the Opt out date and selected the whether contributions are to be refunded, click Confirm and the employee will be opted out. If the opt-out date is more than a month after enrolling and refund contributions have been selected, you will be presented with the following warning. Clicking Yes will opt-out the employee.

If the employee is eligible for opting in, you will be presented with a form to add in the opt-in details.
Payments after leaving in the web
What have we done?
We have updated the web system to allow payments after leaving for employees. Previously after adding an employee who was a leaver to the payroll, you would not be able to continue processing for this employee in the web system. This restriction has been removed so that leavers can be processed.
All validations are as they are in the desktop version. You will still need to ensure the tax code is updated to 0T manually.
Cost Breakdown fields added to the pension field list
What have we done?
To allow more flexibility in the system, we have widened the field list available for Pensions. This now includes cost breakdown fields. These can be added to the existing fields that have been selected in the desktop system in System>Maintain Pensions>Fields tab
Audit Report Improvements
What have we done?
We have updated the audit report options to allow for downloading of the report in .csv format, and to allow for selection of a single field.

The csv option is also available in the desktop version. The field option will be available in the desktop version as part of the year end release.
Security Upgrades
What have we done?
As part of out ongoing commitment to ensuring our systems remain secure, we have upgraded the import process. These imports now run through a virus scanner prior to importing into the system.
Once imports begin you will receive a notification, and once they are complete you will receive a second notification.

These imports can be reviewed in the Import Log. The import log can be found in Batch Tools>Import Log either in Manage Employees or within an open payroll cycle, where you can view any import that you have imported, as well as the import log, which is kept for 60 days

Your system administrator can set in the privileges whether you can only see your own imports or all imports. For information on how to change access rights, click here.

Payslip module now available in the OneAdvanced Mobile App
What have we done?
We have launched a new Payslip module within the OneAdvanced Mobile app.
The OneAdvanced Mobile app is powered by our Platform and allows employees to view and download their Payslips, P60's and P11d's wherever they are. Read more here
