I cannot finalise a payslip; the system says ERR permissions are missing

Enhanced Reporting Requirements (ERR) came into effect on 1 January 2024. They require employers to report to Revenue – in real time – details of certain non-taxable payments made and benefits given to employees and directors.

More information about ERR is available here:

• Enhanced Reporting Requirements (ERR)

If you recently started using an ERR item (i.e. Small Benefit Exemption, Remote Working Daily Allowance, or Travel and Subsistence (non-taxable)) on a payslip, and you try to finalise the payslip, you might get an error message saying that ERR permissions are missing.

Before you can finalise that payslip, a new ROS certificate with ERR permissions needs to be uploaded to SimplePay.
