# How do I include off payroll workers in my payrolls?

Within Cintra iQ, you can include off payroll workers in your company's payroll for Tax, National Insurance Contributions and Apprenticeship Levy purposes.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** For more information about IR35, see [https://www.gov.uk/topic/business-tax/ir35](https://www.gov.uk/topic/business-tax/ir35).

## To include off payroll workers

1. Determine if the worker should be treated as a deemed employee.
  - HMRC has a free tool for determining a worker's employment status for tax: [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-employment-status-for-tax](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-employment-status-for-tax).
2. Inform the worker that you have determined their status and give them the opportunity to appeal.
3. Enter the worker in **Cintra iQ** as a new starter, if necessary.
  - If a worker moves from being off-payroll to regular employment or vice versa, you must mark them as a leaver in the current employment record and then create a new one.
4. Go to Cintra iQ: Employment Records > Forms > Tax and NI > RTI Details tab.
5. Select the **Off payroll worker** check box.
6. Click **Save**. The worker is taxed accordingly. They will be prevented from receiving statutory payments **(SSP, SMP, SAP**, etc.), and will be excluded from any automatic enrolment assessment.
  - The off-payroll Working status will be reported to HMRC in FPS Transmissions.
