Is Gold Payroll compatible with pension providers?
PAPDIS (Payroll and Pension Data Interface Standard) is an open standard that allows for transfers of data between pension providers and payroll software. Gold Payroll is PAPDIS-ready, making it easy to integrate with any eligible pension provider, giving you more flexibility, more control and more choice. Automatic links are available with Nest, Smart Pension Employer, Smart Pension Adviser, The People’s Pension. But you can also manually add a pension provider such as Scottish Widows, PensionBee, Hargreaves Lansdown, Money Farm, Wealthify.
Will you be able to run a payroll when you’re working from home?
Absolutely! As the new system is entirely browser based and securely accessed over the internet this will be possible.
Can we still manually pay employees by BACS?
Yes, you have the option to do manually or automatically.
Do we have to use the holiday system in Gold Payroll or can we ignore this part of the new system?
It is not mandatory to use but if you chose not to use it, you'd need to ensure that you’ve accounted for leave correctly and that the amount paid includes holiday.
How will time sheets and worksheet jobs link with Gold Payroll?
The ability to import and export data from Gold Payroll will be the same as Gold Pay. We are also prioritising looking into the use of an API integration to automate connections and data imports and exports.
Is Gold Payroll compatible with Time Keeping Machines / Clocking in machines?
Initially functionality will be as it was in Gold Pay. In the future we will explore options to integrate with Time Keeping systems using the API technology we have available. We will make available interfaces to Square, WeWorked, RotaCloud, Quinyx and Deputy.
In Northern Ireland holiday pay is calculated on a 12-week average. Is this possible with Gold Payroll?
Yes!
Is it possible to add another company on to our Payroll that's not on Gold?
Assuming that the other company is a separate legal entity with separate HMRC details etc., this is possible but would require a separate company to be setup within Gold Payroll. This can be accessed by the same or separate user.
We currently download a report for the bank which is sent to a colleague to do. Can this be uploaded automatically to the bank?
Yes, Gold Payroll includes integration with Banks for payments which should prevent the need for the downloaded report.
Can different payment runs be locked down and permissions added? For example enabling permission for someone to run weekly payroll but not monthly.
To achieve this you can create two companies, one for each frequency of pay, and assign different users to each. They can have the same HMRC details and managing the submissions is all possible within Gold Payroll.
In terms of enhanced sick pay, we offer 5 days fully paid leave in a rolling year. Could we use Gold Payroll to keep track of this (currently we are using a combination of our HR app and a spreadsheet tracker)?
Yes - a rolling year process is a standard function available within Gold Payroll.
Will present payroll details such as employee info be transferred over automatically?
Yes - the migration process that will be operated by the Ibcos team will copy across these data items. More detail on any data that won't come across or needs to be setup in a certain way to come across, will be shared soon.
Will the system integrate with any HR programs such as programs for holiday approvals and timesheets?
Gold Payroll does have this capability, but we will not be looking to implement this until after the end-of-life date for Gold Pay which is 05 April 2025.
Does the nominal journal get transferred the same when using Ibcos Gold and is the process for import the same?
Yes - the import process is the same within Ibcos Gold but the export process from Gold Payroll is different and allows more fine-grained detail and configuration.
Every 5 years we have a problem with our weekly payroll employees. Our employees receive letters from HMRC advising that they have underpaid on their tax. This is because this year there are 53 weeks in the year and not the usual 52. We would like to ensure that the new Gold Payroll system is intelligent enough to work out the number of weeks each year, so that we can be confident that our employees will be paid correctly each week?
