Correction re Contracted Hours Worked

In a previous article we stated the following in relation to the new contracted hours worked field on the FPS:

"For employees who are paid using an hourly rate only, BrightPay will select the correct option automatically."

This is incorrect. This is the contracted hours that an employee will be expected to work in a week, not the hours actually worked in a week. So for all employees, you will need to choose the appropriate option (BrightPay, by default, will use (c) 30 hours or more per week).

RTI - lessons from the RTI pilot

One of the main lessons learnt from the RTI pilot was that all employee information (name, date of birth, address and valid National Insurance number) should be accurate and up to date.

Another lesson related to the use of Works Numbers or Payroll IDs by HMRC. A change in Works Number sometimes resulted in duplicate records in HMRC's system with a corresponding overstatement of liability. To overcome this potential problem, BrightPay, in common with many other software providers, will treat the Works Number as your own and assign a separate Payroll ID for RTI purposes.
