How do I pay a net bonus?
- Go to Company/Alter Payments/Deductions and use the wizard to
configure a net to gross single 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 single payment'
- In the payroll screen for the employee(s) you wish to pay the
bonus to, click on the next available free line under the Pay/Ded
section. Choose the new net-to-gross single payment from the
drop down list
- Enter the amount of net bonus you want to pay the employee in
the 'Amount' field.
- Preview the payroll and you will see the grossed up value of
the bonus under the payments section
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.
How do I pay more than 1 weeks wages before Christmas?
To pay more than one week for an
individual employee:
Ensure the Holiday setup is configured correctly both under the
Company menu and the Salary Tab in the employee's record.
At payroll run time click on the HOLIDAY button under the
Absence section of the payroll screen. Advance the payroll by the
required number of weeks and click OK.
To pay more than one week for the
whole payroll:
Alter the pay period on the Do Payroll run screen to the period
you are paying up to (e.g. If you are paying week 37, and want to
pay 38 as well change the 37 to 38)
Run the payroll as normal. Both these methods will run the
payroll over the required number of periods and will calculate tax
and NI accordingly.
