Enhancements: Working Hours Band, Feature Upgrade, and Element Eligibility

Hiring Employees - Configuration Change Required

From this release, before you hire an employee, you must either select the check box Disable automatic new starter creation on the organization-level Statutory Deductions calculation card in Tax Information calculation card details, or create the element eligibility for the tax and social insurance element when you hire an employee.

Working Hours Band

You can use the Working Hours Band field on the Employment Information page to record the band for average weekly hours worked by an employee. This value can be referenced for any calculations, if needed, and also be included in relevant reports.

Run Feature Upgrade

You need to run the feature upgrade process for PAYE data migration. This will update any existing PAYE components. Here are the steps to do this:

  1. Go to My Client Group > Show more > Submit a Flow.
  2. Select the Legislative Data Group for Ireland.
  3. Search for the Run Feature Upgrade flow.
  4. Enter a name for the payroll flow.
  5. Select the Ireland Statutory Deduction Card Upgrade flow parameter.
  6. In Additional Information, enter the name of the legislative data group for which you're running the PAYE data migration. Even though this is under Optional Parameters, this is a required field to run this flow. Ensure that you match the name of the LDG with the one you've selected earlier.
  7. Submit the flow.

When you run this feature upgrade, the process moves the employment ID from the component details (if they exist) to Context Value 2 on the PAYE component. If no values are found, it will set the context value 2 to a system generated value.

These enhancements enable you to leverage the addition of working hours band, and run the feature upgrade for PAYE data migration.
