Confused by payroll setup
I started my company at the beginning of January and my accountants have set up my payroll to pay me a minimum wage (£931 pm gross). I've already had payslips for January and February.
I went to setup payroll and entered the date of my first payslip (31 Jan) as the payroll start date and entered my gross salary so far (£1862) as the gross total pay. This resulted in two payslips being generated, one for January and one for February. I then edited the tax calculations for these so they matched up with the payslips from my accountant.
All good so far, but I'm wondering, where is the March payslip? Will it be generated on the 31st March? Or have I done this completely wrong?

Inappropriate?Luke,
Hmmm. You've not done anything wrong - we would have expected a March payslip to have been created.
Leave this with us, and we'll look into what went wrong.
Sorry for the inconvenience. -
Inappropriate?Luke,
We've found a problem in our payslip maths that only surfaces when you choose 31 Jan in a non-leap-year as your payroll start date!
We will be fixing this on the server at around 3pm this afternoon, so if you have a go at creating a new payroll just after that it should all work for you.
Alternatively, you could generate the payroll starting on the 30th Jan, which does work correctly, and then edit the dates on each payslip. That won't affect anything else.
Thanks for bearing with us. -
Inappropriate?Ed, good catch! I'm a programmer myself so I know how easy it is to miss weird bugs like this. I'll have a go at regenerating the payroll but thanks for the update.
I’m happy
