How do I send payrolls on holiday?

If your employees are in a weekly payroll, within Cintra iQ,  you can make an advanced holiday payment by  combining more than one week of holiday pay into one payment to cover the holiday periods. e.g. Factory Fortnight.  By combining the payslips, you can ensure that the National Insurance, tax, and pension bands etc. are produced correctly. If your staff are hourly paid, you can combine the employee's weekly hours to cover the holiday period. 

 

  Good to Know

Before you begin the advance payment calculation, to check that the calculation has been made: Take note of the NI amount of the weekly payroll for an individual. Once you have completed the process, the pay and deductions such as the National Insurance contribution amount on the employee's payslip will be x the number of weeks you enter in the Holiday Weeks form + the current pay period amount.
