Retract a P45 or new employee?

I hope you're doing great today, @trojancuff.

I'm here to help you in dealing with getting back your employees in payroll and on how to prepare the furlough for employees.

Yes, you can retract a P45 for your employee so you won't be able to set up his information again. This way, you'll be able to process furlough payroll smoothly. 

Here's the links that you can refer about updating employees record in QBO depending on the payroll subscription that you're using: 

• Add, update an employee record in QuickBooks Online
• Edit employees in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll (UK)

Once done, you're now ready with generating the furlough for your employee. In this case, you'll need to pay them in full (100%), and HMRC will reimburse 80% of their salary afterward. You can reach out to the said agency to verify the reimbursement process.

I recommend checking these link below to learn more about the new Job Retention Scheme for reference:

• COVID-19: Furloughed Employees
• Claim for your employee’s wages through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme

I'm just a reply away if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks for coming and stay safe.

Thanks Betty but the edit for changing a leave status is greyed out and the link you gave doesnt mention this, any other ideas?

Hello trojancuff, 

Can we ask what payroll system you are using, is it Advanced, standard or paysuite? 

Hi - Did this thread get closed out.

I need to re-enable an employee that has been issued a P45. Can I do this in the system as the re-enable is greyed out, or do i need to recreate the employee?

Thanks
