Is it necessary to enter an employee date of
birth and/or National Insurance
number?
IRIS GP Payroll will operate without
data in the date of birth or the NI number field. However HMRC will
insist that at least one of the two fields has data before an
end-of-year submission is accepted. Try to ensure that you have an
NI number or the employee’s date of birth before the end of
the tax year.
A registrar or assistant doctor will become a partner
mid-year.
Do not change the employment type in his/her original file to
type 7 (doctor/partner). Enter a leaving date and issue a P45. If
you want to use the partner facility (employee type 7) then create
a new entry for this doctor.
