NI Category C
There is a problem using the Historical NI changes wizard where the new NI category is category C.
This is because a negative employee’s NI is generated in the current period against category C, and this cannot be returned as part of the FPS
So we suggest until such time as the logic of the wizard is altered you will have to go back to the old manual process for such changes
Process
- Leave the employee on the ‘old’ NI category
- Calculate the changes required to the employee’s and employers NI.
- Enter the changes into the ‘Calculation Override’ screen (HR Record > Payroll Functions menu)
- The employee’s NI this month will then make those changes to the C category.
- After period end change the NI category to the new value
