Hello
As a Payroll Provider bureau in the UK, we're in the middle of taking on a Payroll from another company, and the PAYE Reference is being transferred from the old provider to us.
We've taken on new clients before, but they were given new Tax References
So we have set up a new Payroll, with an existing PAYE reference, in our 12.2 instance of Oracle and have given the transferred staff new Employee numbers, though we have stored in the former ones in the appropriate field so should come through in the FPS file when we run it.
We are concerned about sending the first FPS file through as, whilst it is the first for us, it is not the first for the employees or for this tax reference
So: Will us having to mark this as “First FPS” when it's only the first for us, have any impact on the staff we are reporting on, or is there way round any issues which might arise that others might have experienced?
Any information gratefully received.
