The payroll consultant will add the required components into the timesheet and send the template to the Client for completion
The Client will then complete the timesheet providing gross payment amounts for each employee in the specified format. (Should the payments be nett values, then Datacom will follow the Grossing up process before they can be added to the timesheet)
The consultant will import the timesheet provided and verify total amounts have been imported using the Payroll register totals
Reports will be sent to The Client for approval as per the standard checking processes.

• If the bonus payments are processed in a manual run, the previous closed Period End Date should be used for the manual Run. To ensure the PAYE calculations are correct for the period.

• If you wish to supply nett values, then Datacom will follow the Grossing up process before they can be added to the timesheet.

• The PAYE, Student Loan and KiwiSaver should be checked to ensure they are in line with the correct earnings, these are dependent on Direct Credit date.

• A Template can be requested from your EasiPay consultant. Your consultant will generate a time sheet that can then be populated and sent through for upload.
