An employee joins the practice in the middle of a
month, the joining date was added but IRIS GP
Payroll paid the employee for a full month.
IRIS GP Payroll does not calculate the
amount due for a short month using the joining date
(employment in general practice is often too irregular for the
software to do this calculation). The
operator should manually calculate the amount
this employee is due for the short month and enter it as a Special
Salary at the Temporary Adjustment Screen.
An employee is leaving mid-month. How is a payslip and
P45 produced?
The Payroll can be calculated for a single
employee. Enter the amount for the short month as a Special Salary
in the Temporary Adjustment Screen and calculate the payroll. Print
a payslip and then enter a leaving date. A P45 can be printed
(Print Output button) and a pension summary (Print Output - pension
summaries) if the employee was in the pension scheme.
You have calculated the Payroll but have forgotten to
add some overtime/extrapayments for an
employee.
Recalculate the Payroll but select to do so
for a single employee. After the recalculation print
a new payslip, a copy of the monthly summary
and a P32 as the payment to HMRC will have
changed.
How are backdated salary increases
entered?
The backdated salary increase should be
entered as an Extra Payment at the Temporary Adjustment Screen
(select that tax, NIC and pension are charged). IRIS GP Payroll
cannot
calculate the backdated amount as staff often
have irregular hours and/or are being paid for several posts and
not all rates have been increased. The operator must
calculate the amount due to each employee. For many employees the
percentage increase can be applied to the ‘Gross Pay to Date’
figure obtained from the previous month’s summary of
calculations (second page, first column).
There are no fields for Cash Adjustment or Overtime in
the Temporary Adjustment Screen for registrars or
salaried doctors.
Use the Special Salary box to vary the
payments to registrars and salaried doctors. The pension
contribution may have to be adjusted on the same
screen.
