Prepare for payroll year end

Before you can process your payroll year end, you need to do the following.

If you pay your employees weekly, fortnightly or four-weekly and your normal pay date falls on Thursday 4 April or Friday 5 April, you need to process a week 53.
​
​Note: If you pay your employees monthly, you won't have a week 53, even if your normal pay date falls on these dates.
​
In Paycircle, if you have a week 53, there's nothing you need to do differently. Once you process week 52, you automatically move into week 53. You should process this period as normal then, once you've done this, you automatically move into the new tax year.

When you calculate your final payroll of the tax year, review the draft reports and payslips to ensure these are as you expect. If you need to make any corrections, click Uncalculate then make the relevant changes.

Any employees who still work for your company on 5 April require a P60, you must provide this by 31 May.
​
We recommend you configure P60 notifications before you process your payroll year end. If you're a bureau and manage multiple companies, you need to do this via bureau settings or, to do this for an individual company, you need to do this via company settings.

You need to process any leavers who left on or before 5 April, before you process your payroll year end.
