Payroll Default Parameters (NP-839)

Default configuration for new starters can now be defined at the payroll level. This configuration can be defined on the Payroll > Payrolls screen and will override any configuration supplied at the Workgroup or Company level.

2021/22 Functionality Changes (NP-886)

Beginning on 6th April 2021, anyone who has drawn down a student loan from Scotland will repay under a new Plan type ‘04’. Functionality to accommodate this change has been added to InPay. An additional Plan 4 option has been added to the starter declarations on the Employee > Starter and Employee > Starter Declaration screens.


Student Loan plan types can be updated through the Pay > Statutory Loans screen. The Plan 2 tick box has been replaced with a dropdown selection.

Plan 4 Student Loan updates from the HMRC can be viewed on the Processing > HMRC Data Retrieve screen with the SL1 option. Plan 4 student Loans are visible on the 2021 FPS format.

Additionally, the REST Services, Starter Importer, Exporter and Flat File have all been updated to allow for Plan Type 4 student loans. The Employee > Student Loans report now has a Plan Type column instead of a Plan 2 Y/N column.

Off Payroll Working (NP-1011)

To support extension of the IR35 reforms to all sectors from April 2021, the HMRC have introduced a marker against all workers to indicate whether they come under IR35 legislation and should be treated as 'Off Payroll'.

The flag can be set at time of worker creation, through the Starter functionality or after creation through the Employee > General screen. Setting this flag will mean that the worker cannot be added to any absence schemes, set up with a Student Loan, Court Order, Pension or Mistimed Payment.  

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.
