You can set the last working day of an employee and mark as leaver, subject to certain conditions. You can mark the employee a leaver on the last generated payroll period or the payroll period preceding the last generated payroll period.
1. On the Payroll Details page, tick Finishing this Period? and set the leaving date under Finish Date.
The leaving date can be during the last generated payroll period or the period preceding that. |
2. If the leaver date is prior the last payroll period, you get the following confirmation message.
Leave date cannot be set if holiday or advance pay is already processed for the employee. |
3. To save the changes, click Save. If you have set the employee leave date, the following message appears.
4. To commit the leave date, click Yes. The P45 is generated and the leave date becomes available in the FINISH DATE field on the Employment tab. From 2019 onwards, no P45 will be generated and only the leave date will be available on the FINISH DATE field on the Employment tab.

Updating Payslip Settings
The payslip settings allows you to update certain components of an employee payroll such as revenue calculation basis -- Cumulative, Week/Month 1 or Emergency, department, payment method and CSO.

2. On the Payslip page, click the required employee name.

6. You can now exempt the employee from PRSI contributions for one or more payroll periods and restore the contributions from any future payroll period, if needed. The employee needs to provide a reason for exemption. Under the Revenue tab, scroll and select PRSI Exempt (Only to be used on receipt of a written instruction from the relevant authority).
7. When you select the above option, the PRSI CATEGORY is hidden and you are required to select an appropriate reason for exemption from the PRSI EXEMPTION REASON list.
When the PRSI is exempted, the insurable time periods, for example, the weeks in a month, in a payroll period become zero and the PRSI status of the employee is shown as ‘PRSI Exempted’ in the payroll settings. |
8. To save the changes, click Save.
