How do I produce a P45 for an employee who is leaving

Hi, tony184. The P45 form is available in the Documents section of your employee profile. Before accessing it, ensure that you've made all the final payments and finalised their payslip.

 

Once you run the final payroll, you’ll have to send the Full Payment Submission (FPS) to notify HMRC that the employee has been paid.

 

Next, you'll have to mark the employee as a leaver. Here's how:

 

  1. Hover over All apps, then select Employees under the Payroll tab.
  2. Click the name of the employee to open the profile. 
  3. Hit Actions, then choose Change status
  4. From the Status dropdown, click Terminated
  5. Enter the Leave date and the Reason for status change.
  6. Select Save

 

Once done, access the terminated employee's profile in the Employees section to view the form. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Active Employees dropdown, then select Inactive Employees.
  2. Choose the employee. 
  3. Select the Documents tab. 
  4. Next to P45, select View to open the form in a new tab.
  5. In the upper right corner of the page, hit the Print or Download icon to save the form.

 

You can also review HMRC guidance for more information on what to do when an employee leaves.
