You can do this in the Employee screen. Click here to go to the Employee screen.

Enter the Employee details and click the Update Employee button to save.

Like the Company screen, if you enter more than one employee than a grid will appear which will allow you to select each individual employee.

3 Import the RPNs

Next, Import your RPNs. This is the tax information (tax credits etc) for your employees. Click here to go to the RPN screen.

4 Process Payments

Pay your employees in the Payroll screen. Select the pay date from the calendar, select the employee from the list and click Pay. Mistakes can be fixed by clicking the Rewind button.

Click here to go to the Payroll screen.

Notice that any elements or deductions that you set up in the Employee screen are copied to each pay date in this screen.

You can change the payment amount using the elements grid and view the Payslip in the Payslip tab.

5 Produce the reports

Click here to go to the Reports screen.

Here you can produce payroll summaries and print pay slips. CloudPay reports allow you to select ranges and specify groupings.

6 Submit your payroll to Revenue

We have devised a traffic light system so you can see exactly what has been submitted for each pay period. Green means everything went okay, orange means the submission went through, but there were warnings and red means there was a problem. It is really easy to make corrections to submissions. Simply click the 'Submit' button, and the incorrect submission will automatically be deleted and replaced with the new one. You can see exactly what figures have been submitted to Revenue by looking at the Summary tab.

It really does make PAYE Modernisation a breeze.
