P45 for employee (Sage) RTI

[Peasie]

One of my clients has an employee leaving.

Slightly different from other employees as the client is a semi professional football club. A player will receive their final pay for the season in June then won't receive anything until August. Sometimes players will not return the following season. So with his final payment I couldn't mark it as final as I didn't know at the time it was final.

He is wanting his P45 now. How do I do this in Sage? There is one option "P45 - Plain paper (for eSubmissions)". Would this one be ok to print for him? It does mention (new employer) sending Part 3 to HMRC but this is no longer done.

Would this employee be removed (de-selected) when I try to file the next FPS?

Can I pay him 1p and process him with today's date and mark this as his final payment for the year? (He is on BR code).

What is the easiest way round this?

I can't remember the exact process but the eSubmission option will print a P45 for a new employer. It will also advise HMRC he has left. He will be removed from the next RTI submission. There is no need to do a final payment if he is up to date, the system will cope with everything.

I can't see it under e-Submissions.

I did this the other day but unfortunately I don't have a copy of Sage Payroll on this PC. As far as I recall it is done through selecting the employee as a leaver This link should help

I can process the employee as a leaver. But when will HMRC be informed of this. I won't be processing another payroll until August so HMRC will not be informed he is leaving until then.

The link seems to refer to pre-RTI.

When you procees the employee as a leaver Sagepay should inform HMRC when you go through the leaver process. I don't think there is anything else you need to do.
