Pay a leaver early

Process pay for an employee who leaves mid-period in Sage 50 Payroll Ireland.

If an employee leaves mid-period, process their pay separately. Complete their leaver process and send the submission to Revenue before other employees.

If you’ve already saved timesheets for others, delete those timesheets before continuing. When an employee leaves mid-period, follow Revenue’s instructions:

• Don’t change their Tax/USC status, tax credits, standard rate cut-off point, or USC rates
• The employee receives any tax refund calculated automatically
• Revenue corrects any under-deduction in a later period

Save the timesheet for the employee who's leaving

1. Go to Processing, then select Time and Pay.
2. Under Entry mode, choose Random, then select Continue.
3. Next to Employee, select Browse, then choose the employee.
4. Enter their final pay details.
   Include any outstanding holiday pay and adjust any deductions.
5. In Leaving/Suspend, select Leaving.
6. In Date, enter the employee’s finish date.
7. In Pay Date, enter the actual date they’ll receive payment.
8. Under Pay periods, in Insur. Weeks, enter the number of weeks worked in this pay period.
   For example, if they leave in week one of a monthly period, enter 1. If they left in a previous period but you owe pay now, also enter 1 and use their original finish date.
9. In Weeks Worked, enter the same value.
10. Select Save, then Cancel.

You can now run End of Period as normal.
