Sometimes you need to process an additional payment or make an adjustment to a previous payment for an employee who has left the company.

You can only do this if:

  • The employee isn't a director.

  • You aren't in a supplementary run.

  • You've period ended since the employee left.

Things to consider:

  • Once a payment after leaving is initialised, that type will be greyed out if you try and run the wizard again in the same month.

  • There are 2 types of payments after leaving, Standard and Irregular; HMRC have more information on when each should be used.

  • You can process both types in a period, but only use irregular if it meets the criteria.


To process the additional or adjusted payment, follow the steps below.

⚠️Caution: For leavers from a previous tax year, once you follow the steps below, you can't make any further changes.

  1. Take a backup of your data.

  2. Click Payroll, then click Employees.

  3. Find and select the relevant employee.

    🤓Tip: If the employee left in a previous tax year, apply the Include Leavers In Previous Tax Years filter, then click Run.

  4. Click Payment After Leaving then select Standard or Irregular.

  5. Click Next, then click Calculate.

  6. Click Process then click Finish.

  7. Click Payroll, then click Run Payroll.

  8. For the relevant employee, select the Process check box.

  9. Under Amend Pay, add, remove, or adjust pay elements as required.

  10. Click Save.
