How do I process maternity pay for leavers?

When an employee is made a leaver on the payroll, HMRC will be notified when the RTI data is submitted each pay period. You need to give the employee a P45 form for their records, which shows the total pay and tax  in the employment  tax year.

 

Within Cintra iQ, you can process maternity pay for a leaver for both one-off payments and monthly payments.
