Please can someone help.
We use sage payroll and I processed the payslips a couple of days ago. An employee had a tax code of wk-m1 when he started employment in May but the tax code changed a few weeks ago to ???L so I should have changed his tax code to ???L for this months wages (December) which means his PAYE and NI will be wrong in December.
Can someone tell me what I will need to do for his January's wage?
Thanks guys!

Just use the cumulative PAYE code in January
HMRC sometimes send PAYE coding notices only to the employer or only to the employee, but if he received his coding notice and asks why you didn't implement it in December, you could lie and tell him that you had not received the employer's coding notice before you ran the December payroll.
Bad luck
If you've already run the payroll, leave it till next month. Don't worry about it.
No need to worry about December.
The software should get the tax right automatically without any special input from you beyond changing his code.
