Can I amend a P45 leaver date

Posted By

I have processed a leaver in week 52 as their leaving date was 31/03/23.  I used this as the leaver date on the P45 but we pay a week in hand so they didn't actually receive their final pay until 07/04/23 which was actually week 1.  So the final figure on the P45 doesn not take into account the final pay received after their leaving date.  They have asked for it to be changed but I don't know if or how this can be done?  I have already submitted the information and printed the P45 so their isnt an option to amend the date on Sage.

    Check the HMRC Guidelines.

    They suggest that you should effectively re-employ the employee.  If you have not given them their P45, or they have returned it, then remove the leaving date, pay as normal with the new leaving date, and give them a new P45.  You'll also need to give them a P60 for last year (as that covers their tax liability up to 05 April).

    In paying them in the current tax year, they will have tax for the current year, so they will need a P45 after the payment which they will need to give to new employer.

    Note: I'm just basing this on my understanding of HMRC's guidelines.  You may be able to contact them for clarification that you are doing the right thing.

    Thank you, I just cant see how to remove the end date as the fps has been submitted and now is 'greyed out' so no option to amend the record on Sage...
