Before you can process your payroll year-end, you need to complete the following.
Check your version
You need to check you're on the latest version of SelectPay and, if not, install the year end update. Once you've installed the update, you also need to apply new unlocks.
Process your final payroll of the year
You need to ensure you've finished all payroll processing for the current tax year, including processing any leavers who left on or before 5 April, your final full payment submission (FPS) to HMRC and you've processed your final period end of the tax year.
Final employer payment summary
If you have any statutory payments to recover, you also need to submit an employer payment summary (EPS). Alternatively, if you haven't made any payments to your employees in the last monthly earnings period, you may need to submit an EPS (No Payment).
Update the nominal ledger
To ensure your employer payment summary (EPS) figures are correct, you need to update the nominal ledger.
Submit P46 (car)
If you provided any employees with a company car during the current tax year, you need to submit the P46 (Car) form before completing the year end process.
Check if you have 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.
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.
