Allow previous payroll ID box to be left blank where the employee doesn't have a payroll ID
Either (1) the wording in the UK payroll part of Xero needs to be amended from "The previous payroll ID is unknown" to more clearly cover a situation in which the employee doesn't have a payroll ID or (2) the field should be permitted to be left blank. In my client's case, it isn't that his previous payroll ID isn't known, it's that he didn't have one. If Xero is concerned about allowing the previous payroll ID field to be left blank, could a warning message be added, with a tickbox that the user has to actively mark to say that the box is being left blank deliberately and that this is correct? I checked the employee's PAYE tax code notification to prove that HMRC does not have any payroll ID for him.
