In the National insurance Override dialog box, you can manually override the NI balances on an employee's pay and apply the override to an NI category letter. For example, this functionality is useful when you receive a late notification of an NI category change or if an incorrect category was applied.
The National insurance Override dialog box opens automatically when you create a check entry or quick entry with the EE NI code in the following locations:
- The Checks tab in Payroll > Data Entry and Payroll > Pay Run Management.
- The Quick Entry tab in Payroll > Data Entry and Payroll > Pay Run Management.
When you create a check entry or quick entry with the Code field set to EE NI, the dialog box opens automatically when you click the Amount field. The dialog box contains the following fields:
General Fields
- NI Letter: The NI Letter to override.
