Apollo Payroll has no concept of balance forward or period close down.
This can present a change of thinking for those used to the traditional payroll
workflow of:
collect data ⇒ process payroll ⇒ produce reports ⇒ close down period and balance forward
But this leads to the ability to make as many payroll runs in a single PAYE period as
required. You can pay any member of staff any number of times and Apollo Payroll will sort
out the accumulated NI and tax for the period accordingly. Each payroll run will then be
sent to HMRC as a separate FPS.
Apollo Payroll does still have the concept of a period summary which can be produced after the period payroll(s) are complete. However we can still process further payroll runs in the PAYE period and simply produce a replacement summary report (and associated EPS filing) when required.
