If the pay run has already been approved, but you need to make a correction, consider whether you can apply the correction in the next pay run.
If you’ve reported the wrong pay or deductions
To correct a mistake made in the current tax year, update the year-to-date figures in your next regular FPS.If not, you can perform a Rewind.
Rewind #
Navigate to the Pay Runs listing.
Click the Rewind button:
Please consider the warning given that the “replacement” pay run will redo all HMRC, bank, pension and other outputs from scratch.
Dry-run: To see if rewind will work, you can use the dry run setting. This will document what would change without actually performing a rewind.
Perform the rewind #
Now:
- You must delete any in-progress, incomplete pay runs by going back and using the Pay run Delete button. Click the Rewind button to return if you did.
- Perform the Rewind by clearing the dry-run check box and clicking Rewind.
Start the pay run #
After the rewind is complete, you must manually start the scheduled pay runs:
If you are unfamiliar with the steps needed to start a Scheduled pay run, follow the Starting a Pay Run guide.
Review the interim pay run #
After the interim pay run is restarted:
- Check the Pay Schedule dates are correct, or adjust them if needed. See Changing a Pay Schedule.
- Now make any other changes and corrections that required the rewind to be done.
- If you make changes, you must then do a Pay run Redo.
Set an FPS late reason if needed #
For example, you may wish to set a late reason on the FPS; you can do so by navigating to:
- Setup
- Report Definitions
- Find the FPS and click Update
Now set the late reason:
Click Update. As above, if you make this change, you must then do a Pay run Redo.
Approve #
After you have checked everything, approve the pay run as usual.
The next pay run should start automatically after the reports have been submitted..
