are not active at any point during the current payroll period (i.e. The
employee's current Tax Code would be changed to <ZH>BR on Week1/Month1
</> or the Tax period would be changed to the <ZH>Tax Period from the
last period when they were active</>.) but the employee has not
terminated all their contracts of employment so a Leaver's Tax Code
could not be assigned.

System Response

Leaver's Tax Code processing has been by-passed

Nothing. This is correct if there is still an active contract. If the
contract should not be active, terminate it and re-run the payroll.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPSGB_ME_NEW012 - Leaver's Tax Code not assigned. Employment &1 is still active on &2 ?

  The SAP error message HRPSGB_ME_NEW012 indicates that there is an issue with the tax code assignment for an employee who is marked as a leaver (i.e., someone who has left the company) but still has an active employment status in the system. This can occur in the context of payroll processing, particularly in the UK payroll module.
  Cause:
  
  Active Employment Status: The employee's record is still marked as active in the system, which conflicts with the leaver's tax code that should be applied when an employee leaves the company.

  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the employee's status or payroll data that need to be resolved.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Employment Status: Verify the employment status of the employee in question. If the employee has indeed left the company, ensure that their status is updated to reflect this in the system.
  Update Tax Code: If the employee is still active but should be treated as a leaver for tax purposes, you may need to assign the appropriate leaver's tax code in their payroll master data.
  Review Payroll Data: Check the payroll data for any inconsistencies or errors that may be causing this issue. Ensure that all relevant fields are correctly filled out.
  Consult Payroll Configuration: Review the payroll configuration settings to ensure that the leaver's tax code is correctly defined and that the system is set up to handle leaver scenarios appropriately.
