QUICKBOOKS Preparing for the switch to Core Payroll
I was excited to hear about the benefits of QuickBooks new payroll solution and how it will transform the way my clients manage payroll and ultimately save time – dream! So, I thought I’d jot down some information to help you get ready for the switch.
Core Payroll is a new payroll solution that will replace the existing Standard Payroll plan – at the same great price. Core Payroll features all the functionality you’re used to on a shiny new platform to deliver an enhanced user experience.
When will this happen?
QuickBooks will be upgrading all Standard Payroll customers from their existing Standard Payroll plan to the new Core Payroll plan in late Spring 2024.
What are the benefits of Core Payroll?
- Allows you to run payroll from anywhere thanks to its cloud-based software.
- Ensures you stay compliant with direct real time information (RTI) submissions to HMRC.
- Easily pay different employees weekly or monthly depending on your arrangement.
- Makes sure you’re compliant when it comes to sick pay, maternity, and paternity payments.
- Assess and auto enrol employees into your pension scheme as well as calculate contributions and submit details to Nest with just a few clicks.
I’m using QuickBooks Advanced Payroll; does this affect me?
No. If you’d like to find out more about Advanced, click here.
What are the next steps?
You don’t need to do anything! Everything will continue as it is for now until you are automatically moved over to the new payroll platform. I’ll be in touch again to let you know when this happens.
In the meantime, if you have any queries at all please feel free to drop me a line and we can take a look together or there are plenty of online resources available including a live chat on the QuickBooks website.
