FPS reports

nickscruton7 · ‎August 19, 2024

I have only one weekly paid employee. In the past when he has not worked and his pay is zero I have still been able to file an FPS. However since payroll has been updated this is no longer possible. If he has no pay the following message comes up "You must either enter the hours worked or compensation amounts, or clear the checkbox to exclude employee from this payroll run" However if I exclude the employee the following message appears, "Select employees before you preview the payroll for them"

The only way I have been able to process an FPS report is by paying a nominal amount of 6pence, which does not seem the correct action to take.

Any feedback would be appreciated

Hi nickscruton7 Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community. If there is a period of inactivity or non-payment an EPS is submitted rather than an FPS. To generate an EPS in the Core system you wouldn't run the payroll and the EPS should generate when you then run the next pay period. However please note that it will only be possible to generate an EPS for a period of non-payment in the Core system if you have already ran a period which included employees on the new system. If you haven't and the first period you would like to account for is a non-payment period then it won't be possible to generate the EPS. You would have use HMRC's basic tools for non-payment periods until you run a period that includes employees.
