Configure Prior Payroll

Prior payroll is pay you have already processed outside Zoho Payroll earlier in the same tax year (6 April to 5 April), for example with another payroll provider.

You need it only if you have already paid employees this tax year outside Zoho Payroll. If this is your first payroll of the tax year, click Disable Prior Payroll.

Warning: If you need prior payroll, finish it before you process a pay run.

Configure prior payroll from Getting Started

Getting Started always includes Configure prior payroll, whether you answered Yes or No when you created the organisation.

  1. On the Getting Started page, click Complete Now next to Configure prior payroll.
  2. If you have not saved a pay schedule, click Configure Pay Schedule.
  3. If you chose No when you created the organisation, click Enable Prior Payroll only if you have already paid employees this tax year.
  4. If no employees have been added to Zoho Payroll yet, add the employees you paid this tax year, then import your latest FPS file.

If you do not need prior payroll, click Disable Prior Payroll.

For the full steps, and FPS import, refer to Prior Payroll.
