Automated issue of employer packs / letters

4. Employer packs / letters for P, PSC, OCPN and TRONC scheme types are normally issued automatically

When the employer uses an agent and the Agent Indicator is present, the employer pack checkbox will be unchecked and the employer pack / letter is not issued. This is to reduce the number of unwanted employer packs / letters being sent to agents

Where an employer pack / letter is not required in the future

  • Use Function AMEND EMPLOYER SUMMARY to ensure there is a tick the Agent box in Amend Payroll and Correspondence Details:
  • Where there is a tick in the Employer Pack check box go to step 5
  • Where there is no tick in the Employer Pack checkbox go to step 8

5. Where a tick is present in the Employer Pack checkbox and no employer packs / letters are required use Function AMEND EMPLOYER PACK AND CODING REQUIREMENTS to select the Employer Pack checkbox again to remove the tick

6. Use Function AMEND EMPLOYER NOTES to make a relevant note on the employer record that employer packs are no longer required

7. Make a prominent note on the employer record pad that no employer packs / letters are required and take no further action

8. Where no tick is present in the Employer Pack checkbox and no employer packs / letters are required:

  • Use Function AMEND EMPLOYER NOTES to make a relevant note on the employer record if this has not already been noted
  • Review the employer record pad and where no prominent note has already been made concerning this point, make one
    Otherwise
  • No further action is necessary
