Release notes
Updates to the optional Paylink module being released as part of the 2025-2 HR release.
Existing functionality changes
New payroll type fields available
Job and Pay Details Location Postcode (PR-475)
Where employers are claiming the National Insurance contributions relief for Freeport and Investment zones there is now a requirement to supply HMRC with the employee's workplace postcode.
To make this easier for customers, a Location Postcode from the Job and Pay Details table has been added as an available field in Paylink, to be able to export the workplace location postcode at a point in time.
This can configured in System > Payroll Configuration > Paylink Modules
The field will need to be added to your Paylink module/configuration Base Data to start using it. Eg ‘Workplace Postcode’ text field length 8.
|
Note: The postcode is linked to Job and Pay via the Locations code table, so this field will need to be populated in System > System Administration > Code Tables > Job and Pay Group > Locations, to link to the person’s record. Example London Location Code |
NI Number Without Spaces (PROD-7873)
In Ciphr Payroll (Accord) the Paylink NI Number field is truncated to the length of 9, and if it has been recorded with spaces this results in the record being skipped during Paylink processing. A new field that removes the spaces has been made available in Base Data to resolve this issue.
To use the new field it’s recommended to update the Personal Details NI Number field in Payroll Configuration to link the Long Description to the new ‘NI Number without spaces’ field.
This new field may also be useful for other Payroll software.
