What Happens if an Approver or Key Contact Leaves the Business?
How to stay compliant and avoid payroll delays when your main contact changes
If your payroll approver, main point of contact, or admin user leaves your business, it's essential to notify us immediately.
This helps avoid missed deadlines, unauthorised approvals, or delays in payroll processing.
📌 What You Should Do
Please 💬 contact us here and let us know:
-
The name and email of the person who has left
-
Whether they had admin, approver, or viewer access
-
Who the new authorised contact or approver should be
We’ll update the permissions and ensure all future tasks are routed to the correct person.
🧑💼 What We’ll Do
Once notified, we will:
-
Remove or downgrade the previous user’s access
-
Reassign any open payroll approvals or tasks
-
Add new users as needed with appropriate access levels
-
Ensure the audit trail remains intact for compliance purposes
🔐 Why This Matters
-
Approver access is required to sign off payroll reports
-
Missing approvals can delay pay runs or HMRC submissions
-
Keeping your access list current reduces the risk of unauthorised activity
