A client has asked me to give figures of week 51 and week 1 which will be paid on the 28th of this month and week 52 will be paid on the 8th April.
Last time I did this it was just before Christmas so I ran week 37 with the hours I was given, ran week 38 as a basic week, ran week 39 with the hours given and then after Christmas when I was given the actual hours worked in week 38, this was rolled back and week 39 was also ran again. There were little discrepancies with the tax and NI and this was balanced out by adding or deducting the amounts from their pay the following week.
Because this lands at year end will the sage system allow me to process week 51, week 52 as a basic week, week 1 and then go back and adjust week 52? I thought that you need to run year end before you can process week 1 and that you can't go back and adjust week 52.
The way I'm reading the info sage have sent out is you need to clear down this year before installing any updates and running week 1, week 1 being the first RTI week including your first full payment deely. If it can be done it will be a whole lot of hassle by the sounds of it.
I may be wrong, but isn't there also a week 53 this year? (Week ending Friday 5th April). My payroll software gives me a week 53 anyway.
Also how come weeks 51 and week 1 are being paid on 28th March and week 52 on 8th April? Seems a little odd to me...unless I've misread your post of course!
Nope thats exactly how they wanted it! Strange I know! :/ totally off topic but my partner received his payslip yesterday with last weeks pay and a note saying that any overtime worked this week will be paid on 11th April as the payroll clerk is off on holiday! Obviously not too worried about year end or RTI then lol.
This particular payroll though is processed every monday so I thought when I process it on the 8th March this would be week 1 with it being after the 5th? I hope someone can clarify this as I am never too sure.
I have decided to run week 51 with normal pay and also holiday pay for the week ending 7th April. I have been told that although staff are entitled to a holiday that week they will be working.
I thought it would be best to run week 51 with holiday pay, week 52 as normal and week 53 if there will be one and then as they are working on the week ending 7th April this will be run as a normal week too if that makes sense.
I seriously doubt that it is legal to pay week 52 on the 8th April. That is week 1 of the new year. It isn't when the work is done that counts unless payment is in advance. If payment is in arrears then payment is what drives the PAYE system.
Is it ok to pay overtime from the tax year 2012-2013 in April? I have another client that doesn't want to pay her employee's overtime worked in March until the middle of April. Is this allowable as RTI only wants the actual amount paid and isn't interested when the work was actually done?
