If a staff member has been issued a P45 and requires a new Payroll ID to continue working for you, please follow these steps:

  • Ensure that the staff who needs a new Payroll ID has been archived by going to their profile and clicking on the Archive button in the top right
  • The following dialogue will appear to continue with the archiving process.
    • If this person is booked onto shifts, you must unbook them first. You can do so by ticking the checkbox.
    • You can give a reason for this archive, select the sentiment and add notes
    • Press OK
  • To initiate the allocation of a new Payroll ID
    • Go to the Staff archive
    • Use the search fields to find the staff
    • In the list, go to Options > Re-instate
    • Click OK on the dialogue
    • Click on Yes, generate new payroll numbers.
  • The staff member will now be assigned a new payroll number, and when the next payroll is processed, they will be included in the New Starter file.
