The next time you update your software you’ll notice Micropay has a new name, Sage Payroll.
Sage Payroll has all the same great functionality of Micropay and you can use it in exactly the same way as before. It will be updated for all future legislation changes such as the GDPR and Revenue’s PAYE Modernisation Project, commencing January 2019.
What’s new?
To help you prepare for the GDPR, the Payroll Data Checker will flag information older than 6 years.
You’ll also be able to cater for employees who have exclusion orders for PAYE. In order to help you with PAYE Modernisation, you’ll also be able to flag statuses for Proprietary or Non-Proprietary Directors.
Final Call for Attendees for our Dublin End of Year Payroll Seminar
This informative morning, will focus on Sage Micropay and taking the stress out of the payroll year end process.
Christmas can be a stressful time. Running around trying to find the perfect gift, last minute shopping, long queues, over-spending, the list goes on! Take this time to think of your poor payroll staff, on top of all of this, they have to process the payroll year end file, keeping everything legislatively compliant.
Could you imagine your staff’s reaction, if Christmas wages weren’t paid?!
To help take some of the pressure off, Pimbrook are running seminars around the country bringing you step by step through the payroll year end procedure. We supply a booklet with a checklist and screenshots, allowing for a smooth transition.
Our Dublin seminar is being held on 8th December in The Kingswood Hotel, Kingswood Village, Naas Road, Dublin 22 – morning 9.45am – 12.45pm.
If you have a multi-company licence, you can transfer employees from one company to another. The way you would transfer your employee depends on if the tax registration number is the same as the company you’re transferring the employee from.
Note: Before you begin the transfer process, you should take a full system backup of the affected companies.
If the tax registration number is different
You must mark the employee as a leaver in their current company and add the employee as a starter in the second company. To do this:
Open Micropay > log in to the company you want to move the employee from.
Mark the employee as a leaver and generate their P45 information.
To close Micropay > Login > Exit.
Visit www.ros.ie > log in to ROS > upload the employee’s P45 information.
Open Micropay > log in to the company you want to move the employee to.
Set up the employee as a new starter.
You must notify Revenue to let them know that this employee has joined your new company. To do this, you must generate a P45 (Part 3) to ROS file within Micropay and upload it to the ROS website. Once Revenue receive the new starter form, they issue you with a P2C tax credit certificate specific to this employee.
You can then download the P2C file from the ROS website and import it directly in to Micropay using the Tax Credit Import option.
If the tax registration number is the same
Tip: The best time to transfer employees is at the beginning of a new tax year, before you start processing their pay. However, you can carry out this process during the course of a tax year if required.
You must manually transfer the employee’s year to date values from their current company into the second company. We recommend that you print the employee’s Earnings Tax & PRSI report. This report details their personnel details and year to date values for the current company.
Open Micropay > log in to the company you want to move the employee from.
