How to correct a payroll error in Moneysoft?

How to correct a payroll error in Moneysoft?

Didn't find your answer?

Client has realised that an employee was underpaid by £100 in April.  They approved the RTI submission showing the (incorrect) salary, and this has been submitted and the (incorrect) net salary paid.  

Client would like to pay the employee the additional salary that they should have been paid in April, now.  Is this allowed, or must they wait until the May payroll is run?

I use Moneysoft, but have only just started using it and am not familiar enough with the software nor with RTI to know whether I am able to correct a payslip, and submit another "one off" FPS before the May FPS is due.

Apologies if this is an obvious question or answered elsewhere, but a quick google search has not shed any light on the matter so far!

Any help would be appreciated.

Add it to April

You could add it to the April payslip and hence amend the net pay.  The error would be picked up on the May RTI report as on Moneysoft cumulative figures are reported.

My only reticence on this advice is that you have not complied with the 'on or before' requirement in respect of the £100. But if you reported it as an additional payment on its own for May , how can you also include the May regular pay as May will already have been processed and submitted for RTI

Seitler has it right.

This is the best course of action.

True. But as there are no penalties until April 2014, does it really matter?

I agree

Amend the April payroll, but do not attempt to (Moneysoft will not let you) file a second FPS fro April.  It will be picked up in the YTD figures on the May FPS.

I believe that ad hoc payments are excluded from the 'on or before' filing requirement anyhow.
