When you post a pay run, you’ll now see a checklist at the top of the pay run showing what’s left to do, with a progress count such as 2/5 completed.
The steps are:
- Send payslips: email payslips to your team, or resend them.
- Pay employees: pay by Modulr or BACS file, or use the Activity Detail report.
- Submit FPS: go straight to the FPS tab on the RTI page. The step ticks once HMRC accepts it.
- Submit EPS: shows on the last pay run of the tax month when an EPS is due for the Apprenticeship Levy.
- Pay pension contributions: send contributions to NEST, or download the Pension Contribution Report or PAPDIS file for other providers.
- Record the journal: download it, or send it to Xero.
Each step shows whether it’s done, waiting on HMRC, Modulr or NEST, or needs your attention.
Also new:
- Pay run notes:leave notes on a posted pay run for your team. Employees can’t see them.
- Actions and Reports are now at the top right of the pay run.
- Email Payslips, Generate PAPDIS and the payment options (Pay by Modulr and BACS file) have moved from the Actions menu into the steps.
- If you revert and post a pay run again, the steps start again.
