Documentation

Definition

This field controls the subsequent retro behaviour after an initial National Insurance Payment in Error (NIPE) correction, for the same wage type on the same date.

  • If you set this field to When Paid, any subsequent changes to the payment in error wage type amount are carried forward to the next IN-period.
  • If you set this field to When Earned, any subsequent changes are treated as if they had all occurred in the originating period of the wage type.

Example

A bonus of GBP 1000 is paid to an employee in period 1 in 1. The wage type used for this payment is A001. However, the bonus should have been only GBP 500.

Using the new NIPE functionality, you want to fix this error and ensure your correction handles the NI calculations correctly. You therefore:

  1. Reduce the value of the wage type A001 on infotype 0015 to GBP 500
  2. Create a new infotype 0793 record for the payment in error
  3. Run payroll for period 1 in 2

In the pay run for period 1 in 2, the employee's NIable pay is reduced by GBP 500 as a result of the payment in error. This happens irrespective of the value of this Subsequent retro bahaviour indicator.

The indicator is important in determining how further retro differences for the corrected wage type are to be handled. If you set this indicator to When Paid, and the wage type value for A001 is increased from GBP 500 to GBP 600 on infotype 0015 after the pay run for period 2, the difference of GBP 100 is passed forward as a normal retro pay difference.

However, if you set this indicator to When Earned, period 1 is re-calculated based on the normal NIable pay and GBP 600 from wage type A001.
