I have a payroll query. I had to set up a new employee (using QB Payroll) and had the P45 with a start date of 1 Sept. I duly filed this online with HMRC. I was then told that the employee did some work in August that my client wanted to pay her for immediately, so I did a bacs payment of £190 and thought I'd worry about how to deal with it in the payroll at the end of this month.
My question is, how do I deal with it now? Should I just add it to her monthly salary as normal as a separate item and then deduct this amount (less the tax, NI) from the amount we actually pay her this month, or should I treat it a different way?
If so, when you do the next payroll, yes add the £190 to the rest of the monthly salary I would do it as a separate item so the employee is aware that it is not part of the normal monthly pay. This will then attract the correct tax/ni. Then actually physically pay the net pay less the £190 already paid.
You can reconcile the net wages with the two figures.
I don't particularly like it, never tried the payroll bit of it though the company which uses QB for accounts uses Sage for payroll!!!!!
