Please add notification and button to apply tax codes in pay room

Currently the system has two options for applying tax codes. Apply automatically and to apply manually.


We have experienced problems with the automatic application of notices as follows:


Payroll has been finalised to send the email to client for approval

Payroll is then re-opened whilst they review and confirm okay (important to stop the pension being sent prior to approval)

Pay code has been automatically applied, changing the pay due and PAYE figure (unknown to the user)

Client approves and the user finalises and submits to HMRC with figures different to the client end.


We therefore need to switch to manually apply these notices, which has it's own issues:

To apply manually, the user must go into the HMRC section and apply from there. It would be far easier if you could have a small notification area inside the pay room where an alert shows that there are new notices to be applied. If this shows then a button should be available to 'apply new notices'. The user can then choose to apply or not to apply depending on the situation.
