How do I change a weekly employee to be monthly?
The first thing to consider is whether the month they are next

Go to the Tax/NI Tab card in the employee's record, select
monthly from the
drop-down list and set next tax period to the appropriate
month.

the tax weeks and months overlap, please contact Support or

How do I re-instate an employee who has come back to work for

as a template. For help on doing this contact Support or call 0844 815 5671.
