UK Employees Without Direct Deposit Information

Employees in the UK are required to use direct deposit instead of other forms of payment. However, in some cases such as new hires, they might not have a bank account set up to receive direct deposit payments. When you calculate a pay run that includes an employee without a direct deposit account, Dayforce generates a manual payment for the employee with the Employer Manual Payment system payee.

You can view system payee information in Payroll Set-up > Third-party Payees. In the Payees tab, search for Employer Manual Payment, and select the system payee with the Country field set to United Kingdom.

Manual Payment Information in Employee Payslips

When you commit a pay run with an employee without a direct deposit account, a warning message shows in the Problems pane in Payroll > Pay Run Management. The message indicates that the employee is missing direct deposit information, and that a manual payment is required. The warning message doesn’t interfere with the commit process. In the Net Pay section of the employee’s payslip, the net pay type shows Manual Payment instead of Direct Deposit.

Review Manual Employee Payments

When an employee receives a manual payment, they aren’t included in the BACS file for the pay run. To view a list of employees with manual payments in a pay run, you can run the Third Party Manual Employee Payments report in Reporting and Analytics > Reporting > Reports. You can find the report in All Reports > Payroll > Third Party Payments Reports.

To run the report, select a pay group, pay period, and indicate if you want to include or exclude committed data. For example, if you’re running the report against a pay run that has been calculated but not yet committed, set the Use Committed Data Only field to False.
