Add International Assignment Details (UK)

Add International Assignment Details (UK)

  • Workers have an international assignment position.
  • Incoming international assignment workers need an HMRC approved gender - currently either male or female.
  • Incoming International Assignment workers need an international assignment address.
  • Security:
    Worker Data: Payroll (Non-Company Specific) - UK
     domain.
You can record a worker's UK international assignment information for inclusion in your FPS submission. The information you record and send to HMRC counts as the international assignment worker's starter declaration.
Workday only reports the worker's data for the first submission in which they're included.
Workday doesn’t report boxes 28 through 31a on your FPS for retro. If your worker has either a start or end date in a previous period, you must run a prior period on-demand calculation.
  1. Access the
    Maintain UK International Assignment Worker Details
     task.
  2. Complete the task:
    Option
    Description
    Is this an EPM6 (Modified) Scheme
    For EPM6 workers, after you perform your year end calculations, update the year to date balances; make any adjustments using on-demand calculations. Submit the worker's contract end date using the
    Add Worker UK RTI Details
     task.
    Expected Assignment End Date
    Workday doesn't automatically report the international assignment contract end date. Use the
    Add Worker UK RTI Details
     task to override and record the worker's contract end date.
After you record international assignment details for one or more workers, Workday includes their pay details in your FPS submissions. However, there are some additional actions that you may need to take:
  • Payroll for the UK can't pay into a non-UK bank account through BACS. If the worker has a UK bank account, ensure their payment elections and payment election options are set to use their UK bank details. If the worker doesn't have a UK bank account, coordinate with your finance department to arrange alternative payment methods for salary and expenses in the UK.
  • Retro doesn't support international assignment start and end events. If your worker has either a start or end date in a previous period, you must run a prior period on-demand calculation.
  • If the worker hasn't been assigned an appropriate international assignment address, Workday automatically uses the address from their international assignment position when reporting the FPS. Ensure that the worker has an accurate International Assignment address, especially if they intend to live abroad during their assignment.
  • If the worker doesn't have an HMRC approved gender, their pay calculation status will result in an error. You must modify their gender record before Workday can complete their pay result and report it to HMRC.
