How do I remove a payroll period?

Summary

This article explains how to delete a payroll period, for example where you have closed a pay period too early or missed printing one of the end of period reports.

Warning: If you delete a pay period in this way, the information for that period will be removed completely, including SSP, SMP and any "Non-standard" adjustments such as bonuses or commission. These will need to be re-entered. Any pay rises or tax code changes entered on the employee record will be retained.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN USING RTI Submissions: It is ok to delete the last period submitted to correct an error and resubmit, but you MUST NOT delete back any further than that.
