How do I pay a net bonus?
Go to Company/Alter Payments/Deductions and use the wizard to
configure a net
to gross payment. You can call this payment anything you like, such
as 'Christmas Bonus'. If you are comfortable not using the wizard
configure a new payment with
a category of 'Net to Gross'.
Run the payroll as normal, without the bonus. Click preview and
take a note of the net pay.
Return to the normal payroll screen and click on the next
available free line under the Pay/Ded section. Choose the new net
to gross payment from the drop down list.
Enter the total of the original net pay and the bonus into the
'Amount' field. When you preview the payroll now you will see the
grossed up value of the bonus listed under payments.
A student has joined my payroll over the Christmas period -
what should I do about Tax/NI?
Provided they have filled out a P38S, Students should be set to
a Tax code of NI and A rate NI. If they haven't completed a
P38S they have to fill in a P46 and be coded accordingly.
We recommend you double check any new Tax codes or NI rates with
your Tax Office.
