We would like to be able to schedule the submission of the FPS to be on the pay date. It appears that currently the only way you can schedule the FPS submission is on the finalisation of the payroll. We like to submit the FPS and payslips to employees on the pay date just in case there are any last minute updates required. We would also like to be able to schedule the submission of the EPS for the due date. Currently it appears you have to manually submit this to HMRC.
This would be extremely benficial to us. Submit FPS IF it has been finalised AND it is the pay date would be the stipulation. I understand that sending an FPS wouldn't be possible if the payroll isn't finalised. This feature could be used in tandem with the current feature of scheduling the auto payrun and finalise up to 6 days prior to the pay date. The process would be:
Tick autopilot to auto run and finalise several days before the paydate
Tick new feature to schedule the auto FPS on the pay date if the pay run is in a finalised state at that time.
The intervening period would be a window of opportunity for the employer to come back with any changes.
