Pegasus Opera II Payroll and HR

For some businesses it is clear that having a modern and powerful Payroll and HR solution that runs standalone is no longer enough. Pegasus Opera II has been developed to allow the integration of financial management, supply chain management and payroll, in order to deliver a wide range of benefits to numerous people and departments within a business.

Opera II Payroll and HR provides all of the functionality a progressive business requires. Processing multi-company, multi-frequency payrolls can be complex but with familiar manual procedures automated and HMRC legislation built in, Opera II Payroll and HR will save time and reduce human error. Included as standard:   

• Individual group or multi-group consolidation and analysis
• Fully automated SSP, SMP and SPP
• Directors NI
• Trade Dispute tax refund withhold
• Attachment from Earnings Orders & Student Loan deductions
• Holiday Pay Accruals & Remote timesheet entry

Opera II Payroll and HR also takes the confusion out of processing multiple types of pension schemes with differing percentage and fixed amounts. Deduction values and earnings restrictions can be specified at Employee or Group level, whilst comprehensive reporting gives the required contribution details necessary for administration.  Statutory record keeping and reporting is made simple with P32 calculation, consolidation and payment recording and P11 reporting. Retrospective NI code changes can be performed and values recalculated effortlessly. While user-definable, dynamic views give Payroll users the ability to interrogate and drill down on current or historical payment and deduction values for any range of employees in just one process, it also allows full graphical representation and export facilities to Microsoft Excel and Word.

• Historical Leavers can be re-introduced into processing, allowing access to History, payslip regeneration and
  easy re-instatement
• History may be retained throughout for 999 pay periods
• P45 (1), P45 (3) and P46 forms can be produced and submitted to HMRC online via the accompanying HMRC

Detailed and up-to-date information on employees is key to the running of a successful HR function. Integrated with Opera II Payroll, Personnel enables the management of all employee-related processes covering recruitment, retention, training, disciplinary actions, absenteeism, job changes and salary updates.
Reducing the number of day-to-day employee queries can result in great time savings. It is possible to notify staff automatically of Personnel-specific information, such as remaining holiday entitlement and sick days.

• Records variable working patterns assigned to employees

• Diary options include printing whole year, current month or specific transactions with drilldown facility

The Online Filing Manager provides the facility to submit End-of-Year returns and in-year forms via the Government Gateway. It was the first professional application to gain HMRC approval for verifying and electronically submitting P14 and P35 information. A reassuring thought, as the HMRC Quality Standard ensures that your data entries are correct, they are in the correct fields and that they all add up.

• End of Year returns are quick and effortless
• Easy, step-by-step format designed to replicate the P35 form
• Multiple group information consolidation
• Compression for large submissions
• Ability to send multiple test submissions prior to the live submission
• P14 and P35 data content validation to HMRC
• Quality Standard by built-in integrity checks

Any anomalies that could cause the return to be rejected are automatically highlighted, providing the opportunity to make amendments to the data before submission.

The Online Filing Manager can also process P45 (1), P45 (3) and P46 information entered within the Payroll. It can generate individual or multiple files for submission to HMRC, resulting in reduced manual intervention, a more secure online process and ultimately saving time.
