    also is there a way to add a line item such as holiday pay for an employee on their pay slip?

Hi,
So for holiday pay you can use the additions and deductions functions.
For the employee who was on emergency tax, did you re-import the p2c file for them before running this month’s payroll?
As in was the payroll run with the updated information?

    yes i imposed the P2C file and i can see his tax free allowances and such against his employee file but still half his wage is gone in tax

    i also clicked the addition option and it gives a a drop down list with nothing in it
  3. robbiefrankish11 April 10, 2016
    do i have to manually add a holiday pay item somewhere?

    Ok we'll have a look at the emergency tax issue and get back to you.
    You just need to create it once then it will appear in the dropdown, like line items in invoices. You can create Additions/Deductions by clicking on Wages / Payroll Deductions
    Hope that helps.

    thanks pete, for holiday pay i presume i set each of the tax sections to 100%, i.e. for usc, paye, employee and employer psi contributions

    Hi Robbie, we can't really advise on tax questions we're not accountants, and don't know the context of your business.
    But if you ask your accountant they should be able to answer the question easily.
    Sorry about that. Pete

    thanks pete, just coming back to the original issue, as i have been paying other employees, i see that they have had tax refunds, i think the issue might be with the employee as i believe he is still technically still employed elsewhere???

    Hi Robbie,
    I only see 2 of your employees on emergency tax (Kiera and Robert), and neither of those have any tax details other than the emergency tax details. New tax detail for them were probably not in the P2C file. Are you sure they are registered as employees for your company? Do you see their names in ROS when exporting the P2C file?
