How do I override tax, NI or pension for a given period?
When special circumstances arise that mean you need to override what the system calculates for tax, NI or pension, you should use Standard Deductions Override [PDP] to enter the values you want the system to use, instead of the ones it would normally calculate for itself. You will then need to calculate the affected employee again to make the overrides take effect. If a payslip has already been produced, remember to re-set the employee’s status to 2 before you re-calculate. When overrides have been used, you will see messages on the Payroll Calculation Exception Report [PCP] and Calculation Proof List [PPR] indicating which values have been overridden. Note: You don’t have to use Standard Deductions Override for pension, since you can enter pension overrides against the employee in Employee Statutory Data [PED], but if you do that you have to remember to take the override out after period end (Standard Deductions clears down automatically) and you don’t have the messages on the report
