Impact and Dependencies

The HR & Payroll Application and database is required to be patched annually to deliver the statutory Tax Year End patches. In addition, this year, the compliance changes for Pension Re-enrolment and for End of Contracting out for National Insurance must be LIVE by February and the start of the tax year respectively. In a normal year, the pre-requisite patches would be applied through DEV, TEST and LIVE from November with the Tax Year End patches being progressed through February, however this year the Pre-requisite patches; RUP8 and Re-enrolment, will be planned for October 15. With the additional patches for 15/16 and the application migration work a different approach is being considered.
