Using Corrections in the UK

Corrections enable you to correct the results of a finalized payroll before the next scheduled payroll run. Essentially, you use corrections to make changes that would normally be corrected by retroactivity processing in the next payroll.

Here are some examples when you may use corrections in the U.K:

• Late notification of new employees.

  Use corrections to pay employees who were hired in the previous period but were not processed in payroll.

• Pay changes.

  If an employee has a retrospective change in salary or other earnings, you can use corrections to calculate the changes and pay the employee before the next scheduled payroll run.

• Late notification of terminations.

  Use corrections to correct the payroll results of an employee who left employment in the previous period but was incorrectly processed as an active employee.

• Retrospective NI category code changes.

  Use corrections to recalculate National Insurance when an employee's NI category is retrospectively changed.

• Retrospective change of hire date.

  Use corrections to recalculate employees' pay and correct accumulators when an employee's pay has been processed using an incorrect hire, rehire, or transfer date.

Note:

Corrections are only processed if retro triggers already exist.
