To support you with the introduction of Enhanced Reporting Requirements, we’ve collated the most common questions that you're asking us.
Is the Enhanced Reporting Notification (ERN) mandatory if I don't use PeopleXD Expense?
If you use PeopleXD Payroll, but a separate expense system, with the introduction of Enhanced Reporting Requirements (ERR) you must report any relevant payments to Revenue on or before the date you pay the employees.
If you don't use PeopleXD Expense to process your expenses, we strongly recommend you contact the vendor of the expense system you use, for advice on how to manage ERR from their system.
📌Note: For data protection, don't attempt to connect PeopleXD Payroll to a third-party expense software to have them share the employment ID. In this case, the employment ID must come from Revenue.
What happens if an employee has to change pay groups between a travel payment and a payroll payment?
From January 2024, you must complete an ERR return to Revenue before you can move an employee into a new payroll company.
Can I pay expense advances?
To do this, check how to process non taxable advances.
Are external claimants included in ERR?
External claimants are automatically excluded from all ERR Files you generate in PeopleXD Payroll. This is because they aren't employees of the employer and therefore it's not a requirement to include them.
PeopleXD Payroll identifies based on whether the claimant's employee number has a C prefix, whereas external claimants have the X prefix.
How do we set up the ERR pay code for physical items (gifts) where we aren't making a payment?
Revenue has confirmed that you need to include gifts, such as Easter eggs, in your ERR returns.
This is because you aren't making any payments to the employee. To process this in your software, you need to create two payments, one for the value of the item and one to reverse it.
