New pension AVC Pay Element
Introduction of a new Pension Additional Voluntary Contribution Pay element which is based on a percentage of an employee's pay for the period.
BACS update
You can now generate a BACS file before the payroll period is run, the BACS file is available at the point you calculate the payroll and there is now a log recording who downloaded this file and when.
Xero API updates
You can now connect multiple payrolls on the same PAYE scheme to a single Xero account. You're required to enable 2FA when utilising the Xero API to support Xero’s security standards.
User experience enhancements
You’ll now receive a warning when adding a new employee whose date of birth is under 13, under 16, or above state pension age.
Payslip update
We've made a grammatical tweak to the PDF and printable online payslips. We've updated the Pay field to show as Salary to ensure all payslips reflect the same wording regardless of format type.
Registration and security update
Paycircle has introduced some additional security steps to the admin set-up process. Now when an admin is invited to register for their Paycircle portal, the registration link is time-limited, this remains active for 24 hours before expiry.
We've also introduced an additional layer of security which means all admins now need to enter a verification code when activating their log-in. This activation code can be supplied during set-up to the invitee from the inviter and need to be provided manually to the new admin to finalise the setup.
