Question asked by Jeanie Stevens 9 years ago
Hi,
Our accountant runs our payroll, and I need to enter the payslips onto our system. Should I enter them as a journal, or would I be better entering them as a bill, with the first line being gross pay, then adding lines for NI and tax deductions (entering minus figures to end up with the correct net pay owing)?
Thanks,
Jade
Hi Jade
Yes, a bill would be easier as you'll then pay the bill once the money leaves the bank.
You'd be best just creating bills in the employe names for the net payments and then a singular bill payable to HMRC for the combined tax/NI liability. If you've got any attachment of earnings orders or pension contributions etc you would also need to create bills for those.
Just so you know, if you use Clear Books payroll it create the employee/HMRC bills for you as well as emailing out the payslips automatically.
Best answerHi there,
Just wondering if you've had a chance to consider my response above? I need to enter this information urgently.
Thanks,
Jade
Thanks for the reply. However, it is not as simple as that. I have an employee on maternity leave, so receiving parental pay. As well as this, she is also paying for childcare vouchers, so I need to show how the parental pay is building up as a figure owed by HMRC, but then the childcare voucher amount is being deducted from that. As well as this, the money owed to us is being off-set against our PAYE and NIC liabilities rather than being claimed. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jade
