Move an employee

If an employee is moving from one company to another and their PAYE reference is the same, you can move the employee without completing the Starter/Leaver details via an FPS:

  1. From the Company menu, select Alter Company Options then Starting and Leaving.

  2. On the Issue P45 screen, select Display Send Leave Date? and choose OK.

  3. From the Employee menu, select P45 Routines then Issue P45.

  4. Select the required employee and then OK.

  5. Enter the Leaving Date (the date the employee transferred to the other company with the same PAYE reference).

  6. Deselect Send Leave Date?

  7. Select OK.

  8. Create the employee in the other IRIS Earnie IQ company (with the same PAYE).

  9. On Employee Details > Tax/NI, select Starter Details. The New Starter screen displays. Select This is not a new employee and enter their Previous Employee Code.

You must enter the Previous Employee Code before sending the FPS. You can also use this field when transferring payroll data from another payroll system.

You should only use these fields when transferring an employee to another company with the same PAYE reference, or if you are moving from another payroll system to IRIS Software and are using different employee codes.
