The 'Payroll Maintenance' facility has been included to enable:
•Change of payroll name
•Change of the basis of calculation for the rate of pay, ie payment per period, per day or per hour
•Change of country
•Change the number of periods in a year
•Make the payroll dormant
•Change the default tax method ie. PAYE, FDS Forecast or FDS Average
•Change the default currency type
•Change the number of periods used in the tax calculation for employees on the PAYE Tax Method (not on FDS).
We advise that an interim backup is taken before doing any of the following process. This precaution will enable the system to be put back into the position it was in before undertaking the procedure. This would be done by restoring the backup.
To access the 'Payroll Maintenance' facility:
•Go to the 'Data' and 'Payroll Maintenance' menu options.
•Select the payroll in which changes are to be made
•Notice that there are two tabs. The 'Other' tab is used only for employees that are on the PAYE method of computing tax.
