How do i mark an employee as deceased

Helen81 · ‎February 14, 2022

When i run the final pay run for a deceased employee, i can only terminate them which then publishes a P45. What am i doing wrong?

Hello Helen81, As there is no separate option for deceased employees what you would need to do is, in the pay run terminate the employee, putting the date they passed away as the leaver date. We've included a link on how to do that in advanced payroll. Any questions let us know.

Hi Helen81, thanks for joining the Community - so that we can best guide you on the process for this, can we check whether you're using the Standard or the Advanced payroll plan?

Thanks, the employees family are requesting a P60, but as he is no longer on the payroll i cannot publish one. Do i send a P45 instead?

Hello Community Users, Just wanted to pop in and clarify you would only need to give a P60 to all employees on your payroll who are working for you on the last day of the tax year (5 April) as per the rules on the HMRC website. In this case as the employee passed away mid-year a p60 would not need to be given. To answer the above query a P45 would be the correct documentation to give.
