Statutory Bereavement (NP-471)
New functionality has been created to pay and report bereavement leave as set out in legislation commencing April 2020. Records can be added through the Absence → Absence Details screen and reported on in the standard suite of reports. The figures will through to the required fields on the EPS and FPS.
Employment Allowance Changes (NP-472)
From April 2020 Employment Allowance can only be claimed if total qualifying employers’ (secondary) Class 1 NICs liabilities in the tax year before the year of a claim was less than £100,000. Also from April the allowance is to be operated as de minimis State aid.
Should the client still be eligible for Employments Allowance they are required to check and where appropriate tick the 5 addition boxes regarding state aid rules. These values will then feed through to the HMRC when the first EPS is created and transmitted.
Off Payroll Worker Development (NP-480)
To support extension of the IR35 reforms to all sectors, the HMRC have introduced a marker against all workers to indicate whether they come under IR35 legislation and should be treated as 'Off Payroll'.
As some clients already have workers where the legislation applies, a Default Off Payroll flag has been added to each payroll. When clicked the user will have the option of setting all workers currently on the payroll.
Once the flag has been set against the worker the user will no longer be able to add Student Loans, Pensions, AEOs or Absences against the worker.
Payroll Benefit In Kind Changes (NP-474)
