1.1 Employer Bulletins February 2024 and March 2024

You are advised to read the Employer Bulletin-February 2024  and Employer Bulletin-March 2024 which are available from the GOV.UK website
 

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.

On 6th March 2024, the government announced reductions in Class 1 employee National Insurance contributions from 10% to 8% from 6th April 2024. axis payroll software releases from 18th March 2024 will include these updated rates.
