Forward Sync Migration Process

We have pulled together the key items which would need to be configured, populated or imported for your Payroll.

1. Configure InPay          
   1. Ensure the Payrolls are in the correct period
   2. Ensure you have configured your InPay system including (but not restricted to):
      1. Pay Periods
      2. Pay Elements
      3. Holiday Schemes
      4. Pension Schemes
      5. HMRC Transmission Parameters
2. Prepare the InPay Employee Data Take On File
   1. You will require 2 Employee Data Take On Files:
      1. Current Employees (The EmployeeStarter file is NOT required for InPay as this Data is being populated via RSM InTime)
      2. Leavers (As these employees will not be in RSM InTime, the EmployeeStarter file will be required)
3. Run the Validation on the InPay Employee Data Take On File
   1. Correct any issues that are found
   2. Repeat the Validation process until the file is ready for importing.
4. Export InPay Employee Data Take On Files to create the 3 subsequent files required for InPay:
   1. EmployeeStarter.csv
   2. EmployeeYTDNIBalances.csv 
   3. EmployeeYTDPayBalances.csv
5. Import YTD Balances into InPay
   1. Suggest that you process the Current Employees first, then return/repeat the process for the Leavers (see item below). InPay > Import > Export > Import > Format =
      1. Employee Starter (not required for Current Employees)
      2. Employee YTD NI Balances
      3. Employee YTD Pay Balances
      4. Resolve any issues highlighted by InPay reviewing there Error messages.  
6. Align employees to a Pension Scheme
   InPay > Import/Export > Import Data > Format = Employee Pension
   1. Scheme Name (Col E)
   2. Start Date (Col F)
   3. Col G to J only need to be populated for those contractors who are on the Pension scheme, BUT differ from the legislative minimum (BR).
7. Update Pension Details, RTI Code and make Employee ‘Current’
   As the Current Employees do not require the Employee Starter file, you will need to utilise the Employee Basic importer file to update some subsequent fields. InPay > Import/Export >Import Data > Format = Employee Basic
   Template: Choose Payroll, then Download the File
   
   1. Update "MakeStarterCurrent" (Column W) to "Y" for worker who are not starters in the current period
