Hi Mauree n Treadwell,
To correct an earlier Full Payment Submission (FPS) on Basic Tools, you need to complete the following steps:
- select 'Manage employees'
- select the employee whose pay needs to be corrected
- select 'Employee payments'
- select 'change' for the relevant pay period from the table in the centre of the screen
- select the first option - 'I need to 'correct' an earlier pay period'
- select 'Next'
- enter the correct details
- select 'Next' - this lets you check the details you have entered
- select 'Next' - this saves the new details and calculates the tax, NICs and student loan/postgraduate loan deductions, as appropriate.
- If required, select 'Back' - if you need to amend the corrections you have just made
The correction/s may not automatically create another updated FPS for you to send.
Where this has not happened, you will need to create and send a nil FPS within the last tax period to pull through the updated figures.
Please see the Basic Tools User Guide which also confirms the steps required:
