URGENT and frustrating - Payslip with BIK Amount (is incorrectly set) and Adjustment does not add to the NET pay. And this is incorrect as the NET pay is correct but the Payslip setting is incorrect. The Amount is Adding Gross Pay BIK and deducting pension deduction( this deduction must be shown on the adjustments) And this is showing the incorrect amount on the Total payments
| Describe the Challenge | at the moment there is no facility to change and clients are getting annoyed |
The Benefit In Kind is not showing clearly on payslips and causes confusion for many clients as it seems the amount is being paid.
The Benefit in Kind does show a * next to it but there is nowhere on the payslip that explains what * means.
The Benefit in Kind amount also needs to show in the Year to Date fields so it is clear from the payslip how much has been processed YTD, employers are required to give a final value of BIK amounts processed via the payroll at the end of the tax year and this needs to be included on the payslip.
Whether there is any option — even within system constraints — to separately disclose the payrolled benefit rather than embedding it in gross pay or Total Payments as the software terms it, to avoid misinterpretation. Is it possible to disclose the non-cash benefit under the Total Payments line. To illustrate the concern more clearly: if, in future, an employee were to receive a company car as a benefit in kind, the value of that car would be taxed through payroll, but it would not be appropriate to show it as part of gross pay — since no cash is being received by the employee. The same principle applies here with the healthcare benefit.
