You can run a process where Dayforce automatically calculates earnings and correct PAYE and NI deductions as per legislation for any new starts who commenced employment in a prior period but were not yet paid.

Note: This functionality is applicable for UK employees only.

Before You Begin: This functionality is enabled by the Sync Pay Changes role feature under Payroll > Pay Run Management > Quick Entry in the Features tab of System Admin > Roles.

You can access this functionality in Quick Entry tab of Payroll > Pay Run Management by clicking Sync Pay Changes. In the menu that is displayed, you can select the Prior Period New Starts option to open the wizard for this process.

In the wizard, you can select the employees that you want to run the calculation for. Dayforce displays employees who have a start date but have not had any payments processed yet. You can click Filter to open a set of options for narrowing down the list of employees:

Prior Period New Start wizard.

Once you complete the wizard, Dayforce generates a quick entry in the current pay period for the amount from the prior pay period. The quick entry is assigned the system Prior Period New Starters check template so that there are separate payslips for the prior and current pay period.

Also, the PPN column for the quick entry is populated with the pay period that the earnings are from. As a result, the totals for each pay period are distributed appropriately in the FPS file.
