Our Guide to Payroll in the UK is designed to break down the complexities, making payroll straightforward and easy to manage.Payslips, tax codes, and those confusing abbreviations are often the trickiest parts of payroll. This guide helps demystify these elements, ensuring you understand every detail. With 91爆料, you\u2019ll master payroll quickly, allowing you to focus on what truly matters\u2014your people and business growth. Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should a payslip contain by law?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Employment Rights Act 1996, employers must give all their employees and workers payslips. This is regardless of whether you pay them weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.A payslip will show the employee how much you\u2019ve paid them. This includes what they\u2019ve earned, and what was taken off. Employers can choose whether they provide printed or electronic (online) payslips. However, they must be shared with the employee on, or before payday.The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/payslips\">official guidelines<\/a> state that a payslip must show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The employees\u2019 earnings before and after any deductions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The amount of any deductions that may change each time they\u2019re paid, such as tax and National Insurance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The number of hours they worked, if their pay varies depending on time worked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key terms to understand on a UK payslip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main payslip components in the UK are made up of earnings and tax payments, deductions, employer contributions, bank payments and leave details. Most payments are usually made through bankers automated clearing services (BACS) so the employee\u2019s bank name might also be shown. Personal information such as an employee\u2019s full name and address can also usually be found. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what each component means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Payroll Number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Payroll numbers help employers identify the employees on their payroll. You may also call this an employee ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Employer Reference number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/what-is-an-employer-reference-number-ern\/\">employer reference number<\/a> is known as a PAYE reference number. This is issued to every UK company that registers as an employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Income Tax (IT)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How much income tax the employee pays depends on the tax code they have. It might also appear as PAYE tax on a payslip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tax period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the period of time the employee has been taxed for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gross Pay (GP)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an employees\u2019 earnings before deductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxable Pay (TP)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the gross pay less any deductions which attract tax relief. These deductions include pension contributions, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/salary-sacrifice-guide\/\">salary sacrifice<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Net Pay (NP)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This amount is your employee gets after deductions. It\u2019s what will actually be paid into their bank account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variable deductions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This reflects the amounts of any deductions that change from payday to payday, and what the deductions are for. It includes things such as national insurance and tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fixed deductions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are deductions that don\u2019t change from payday to payday such as union dues. You must choose to give the details of these deductions on the payslip, or a separate statement. If you decides to do a separate statement, you need to provide these details at least once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">National Insurance Contributions (NIC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The payslip usually shows the employee\u2019s NI category and NI number. These are a type of tax that help you build an employee\u2019s entitlement to certain benefits in the future such as state benefits and maternity allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-violet-500-background-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-cca8d672d1283641ffc7cca664a4409d is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-12 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-xl-font-size wp-elements-3a4ddc0419d4e505e549fb19aa991ffe\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--0)\">Jump into free Payroll<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill color-white\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-btn-black-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/free-payroll-software\/\">Sign up now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-violet-500-background-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-9ecd62f0cf3863021b284ac476a72b27 is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-13 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-xl-font-size wp-elements-9170da5ebed7d7fed61a210a91f8f8c3\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--0)\">Jump into Employment OS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill color-white\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-btn-black-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/request-a-demo\/\">Request a demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6)\">Other UK payslip abbreviations and their meanings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">Pension deductions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If part of your employee\u2019s salary is deducted to go into your workplace pension, this figure will reflect this.

You may also want to add a separate line to show the date paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bank payments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This lists the employee\u2019s bank name, and the amount paid into that account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are tax codes on payslips?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A tax code is used by the employer or a pension provider to work out how much Income Tax to take from an employee\u2019s pay or pension.It\u2019s usually made up of numbers and letters. The letter in the tax code refers to the employee\u2019s situation and how it affects their Personal Allowance.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/tax-codes\">HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)<\/a> will tell you which code to use. How much tax you pay depends on your rates and earnings threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an emergency tax code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergency tax codes are usually temporary. If an employee is on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/tax-codes\/emergency-tax-codes#:~:text=These%20mean%20you'll%20pay,benefits%20or%20the%20State%20Pension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emergency tax code<\/a>, their payslip will show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1257 W1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1257 M1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1257 X<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>HMRC will usually update the tax code when you or your employee provide them the correct details. If an employee\u2019s change in circumstances means they have not paid the right amount of tax, they\u2019ll stay on the emergency tax code until they\u2019ve paid the correct tax for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do employers need to keep a record of employee payslips?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is mandatory for employers to keep records of employee payslips.Your records must show you\u2019ve reported accurately, and you need to keep them for 3 years from the end of the tax year they relate to. HMRC may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/tax-compliance-checks\">check your records<\/a> to make sure you\u2019re paying the right amount of tax.As part of your PAYE and payroll obligations, you must keep records on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What you pay your employees and the deductions you make<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reports you make to HMRC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payments you make to HMRC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employee leave and sickness absences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax code notices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxable expenses or benefits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payroll Giving Scheme documents, including the agency contract and employee authorisation forms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/paye-for-employers\/keeping-records\">penalties that might incur<\/a> if you don\u2019t keep records properly here.While keeping detailed payroll records is crucial for compliance, managing HR and payroll separately can make this task more complex than it needs to be.
