1. BACS Payroll Processing Great Britain & Ireland - July
Today's task focused on processing payroll for Ireland and Great Britain using the BACS payment method. The process involved several steps:

Simulation Run:

Executed a simulation to ensure accuracy.

Checked preliminary data before finalizing.

Posting to Finance:

Confirmed accurate simulation results.

Posted validated data to finance records.

Ensured proper execution of payment transactions.

Email Notification:

After successful processing, sent an email notification to the bank.

Awaited confirmation of payment receipt.

For Great Britain:

Payroll had to be sent by BACS two days prior to the 25th pay date.

As the 24th was a weekend, payroll was processed on the 21st to avoid delays.

For Ireland:

Payroll date was the 24th.

BACS payment was initiated on the 21st to ensure it was processed before the weekend.

It's crucial to receive confirmation from the bank after sending the payment.

Note:
This month, there was a delay in paying some UK employees due to a system issue. This resulted in a late payment for those individuals.

1. Payroll Processing for Great Britain - July

Today was a busy day working on the Payroll Processing for Great Britain with my mentor. The main task was to validate the bonus upload for employees and their offshore allowances. Offshore allowances are given according to the policy, determining the eligibility and how many employees qualify for this allowance.

During the process, I identified two errors in the allowance calculations. Incorrect allowances were being maintained for certain employees. To resolve this, I reached out to Natalie Baxter from HR Location to confirm the correct allowance information.

After liaising with Natalie, it became clear that the allowances were indeed incorrect. I needed to make corrections in the payroll system. This task proved to be time-consuming, as I had to generate and review multiple reports to ensure accurate data maintenance.

The entire population of Cameron UK, which included around 500 employees, required attention. It was a long and meticulous process, involving thorough verification of each employee's allowance status.

By the end of the day, I successfully rectified the errors and ensured that the offshore allowances were accurately reflected for all eligible employees.

Overall, it was an exhaustive day, but the successful resolution of the allowance issues brought a sense of accomplishment. Working closely with my mentor and collaborating with HR Location was an insightful experience in navigating real-world payroll challenges.

My main responsibility involved scrutinizing the accuracy of bonus uploads, workflow procedures, and the data of recently hired employees in the UK.

My task was to ensure that all their information was accurately entered into the system. While examining the records closely, I came across discrepancies in the information of two employees. It was evident that some details hadn't been actioned correctly.

Today, we worked on processing payrolls for Ireland with the guidance of our mentor. Our main task was to make sure that all the details about the employees were accurate. This included information about new and pre-hired employees, their salaries, bonuses, paid leave, and allowances. Our job was to double-check everything and make sure it was done right.

If we found any mistakes, we didn't fix them ourselves. Instead, we sent the wrong information to the transaction team so they could correct it. Once they made the corrections, we ran a practice simulation to check if everything was okay. If there were still errors, we sent it back for more corrections. We repeated this until the simulation showed no errors.

When the simulation went smoothly without any errors, we finally ran the actual payroll process. This means that all the employees would get the right amount of money they deserved. It was a detailed process, but it was important to make sure everyone's payments were accurate and on time.

After complete everything, we send the report to Team Lead to review.

The first step in payroll processing for Great Britain is to create a BACS file. A BACS file is a file that contains the details of all the payments that need to be made to employees. This includes the employee's name, bank account number, amount of payment, and tax deductions. The BACS file is then sent to the bank, which will make the payments to the employees' bank accounts.

To create a BACS file, you will need to use payroll software. The program will then automatically generate the BACS file.

Once the BACS file has been created, it needs to be sent to the bank. The bank will then process the payments and make the funds available to the employees' bank accounts. The processing time for BACS payments is usually one working day.

Reconciliating employee expense accounts

Other end-of-month tasks

Timeframe for completing post-payroll activities

Importance of accuracy and timeliness in post-payroll activities

The post-payroll activities were done after the BACS (Bank Automated Clearing System) was sent out. This is because the BACS is used to transfer funds from the company's bank account to the employee's bank account.

The post-payroll activities, such as generating payroll reports and submitting payroll taxes, need to be completed before the BACS is sent out to ensure that the correct amount of money is transferred to each employee's account.

The post-payroll activities took me one whole day to finish. This is because there were a lot of reports to generate and a lot of data to reconcile. I also had to double-check my work to make sure that it was accurate.
