  2. The chosen template will download

Import Payments – Column-based Reporting

For column-based reporting, if you have your own templates, you can now download:

  • CSV – Column headings only, or
  • CSV – populated (including the data from the current pay run)

To download your template based on either CSV – Column headings only or CSV – Populated:

  1. From Payroll, select Import Payments

Student Loan Plan Type

When using the + Add New option for employees, you can choose the Student Loan plan type from the drop-down list; this includes the plan type options One, Two and Four. A new field is also available for PostGrad Loan; this has the options of Yes or No.

Attachment of Earnings Orders

When you Add New AEO for an employee, after selecting Create AEO, you can now choose to Include Bank Details.  Select this to enable the following fields for you to complete:

  • Bank Name
  • Bank Branch

  • Account Number
  • Sort Code

DPS Updates

DPS updates can now be automatically applied when submitting for processing (should they not have been applied when you opened the pay run).
