As many companies wish to pay employees ahead of their normal pay date in December, we have included some useful information for you below.

Run the payroll

Once you click Run Payroll; a flyout will appear.
​
The flyout will present you with the following questions and options for change:

  • When would you like to let employees know they have been paid?

    • This is the date you want employees to receive their payslips.

  • When would you like payments to be made to team members?

    • This is the date on which the BACS becomes payable (where BACS is enabled)

HMRC recommend reporting your usual pay date within the FPS submission in order to avoid any potential issues with Universal Credit payments. You can do so by making changes within this flyout rather than directly within the company settings.

Note: If you amend the pay day from within the Payroll Settings area, this will amend the pay date submitted to HMRC on the FPS.
