1.2 P60 Stationery |
|
|
Employers continue to be required to supply all employees with a P60 if they are still in your employment at the end of each tax year. HMRC are no longer supplying pre-printed stationery. axis payroll prints the P60 documents to a PDF file from where the documents can then be printed on plain A4 paper and issued to your employees. Note: for axis payroll 2020 and 2022 users or those that have the Paperless Payroll Foundation feature, running Create P60 Atttachments will create an axis payroll password protected pdf version of the P60 on the employee record. Additionally, for axis payroll systems with the People HR Interface feature or the eDoc Deposit Interface feature, P60's can be delivered to your employees via their People HR or eDoc Deposit account. These are password protected and an additional password protected copy is stored in the attachments tab of the employee record in axis payroll.
