Click on 'Payslips' on the left-hand side of the homepage.

Your P60 and P11D tax documents are now available to view and download in the People System. Follow the instructions in this guide to access your documents. 

• Please note that the P60 certificate is a standard document which uses text prescribed by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). The use of earnings, employee, employment and employer are for HMRC purposes.
• More information about your P11D Statement of Benefits for the tax year 2022 / 23 is available from the Payroll Services team in this document.

If you would like your name displayed differently on your payslip, you can adjust your 'known as' names in the People System. Once you have logged into the People follow these steps:

1. Click on Personal Information
2. Click on Personal Details.  
3. Click on the small pencil on the top right hand side of the screen
4. Adjust the known as names as needed.  
5. Enter a date in the 'When does this name change start?' field
6. Click Submit.

If you need to talk to us about your payslip, you can contact the clergy payroll team - [email protected].

We are aware of the following issue with the first pay slip in the People System:

• Year-to-date balances are not correct on my first People System Payslip. This data is skewed for individuals who began their employment (or office holding) during the financial year 2022/23 and had held a previous employment. The in-period figures are correct. We can assure you that this is a reporting error on the first payslip and all payments, contributions and deductions were/are correct and have been filed with HMRC. This will be presented correctly on P60s.

In the meantime, if you need to access your March statement with the correct year-to-date balance you can access it in the outgoing system - MyView.

This guide shows you how to download and print pay documentation from MyView.

If you need help accessing MyView, please email [email protected] and a member of the team will be in touch.

Historic pay documentation will continue to be available in MyView until 31 July 2023.

Please download and save your pay documentation for the tax year 2022-23 currently held in MyView by 31 July. Doing so will enable you to reference it when you complete your next tax return. 

• Guide: How to download and print pay documentation from MyView

We will archive all of your historic pay documentation currently held in MyView and make this available to you later this year. This means that you do not need to download all of your historic pay documents prior to 2022-23 tax year from MyView by 31 July. More information about how to access your archived documents will be communicated in due course. 

Heating, lighting, and cleaning (HLC) returns for 2023 will be processed via the People System. Clergy will be contacted by email in July 2023 to confirm when annual return forms will be available. Instructions on how to complete the return in the People System will be provided. 

The payroll for clergy moved to the People System from MyView on 31 March 2023.

We have noticed that several users are having trouble logging into the People System because they are using an incorrect username. To simplify the login process, we have updated all usernames for the People System to something called your Personal Unique number (PUN). Your PUN can be found in the welcome email to the system. 

We recommend that you copy and paste this code from the welcome email sent from Oracle ([email protected]) on 30 March into the log in screen. If you do type it, please be aware that the code is made up of two alphabetical characters followed by eight numerical characters.

The People System provides the means by which we can manage people data in a consistent way and provides the source of information published on the National Register. For this we need a system that can ‘talk’ to other national and diocesan systems. 

The new People System is part of a wider programme of work that is bringing people data, systems and processes together to simplify, and bring consistency to, how your information is managed. It will also reduce the amount of data entry needed to keep multiple systems up to date.

The People System is replacing the payroll and HR system used by the NCIs (MyView) that has come to the end of its supported lifecycle.

The focus of our current work is to move our payroll systems. There is nothing you need to do at this time.

If you find any information about how you are currently engaged with the Church – the information that shows on the National Register – is incorrect, please contact your local Diocese so that this can be corrected. The National Register is updated daily so any changes made by someone with the relevant permissions within your diocese will appear online the following day.  

Please email [email protected] and a member of the team will be in touch.

The National Register shows all clergy who hold a Bishop’s Licence or Permission to Officiate (PTO). It is an important development in strengthening safeguarding in our Church. This is the implementation of one of the recommendations in the 2017 Gibb Report into the case of the late Peter Ball, setting out necessary steps to ensure safeguarding in the Church is of the highest possible standard. The changes relate to Recommendation 11 (b): The Church should introduce arrangements for a national register of clergy with Permission to Officiate.

If you find any information about how you are currently engaged with the Church – the information that will appear on the National Register – is incorrect, please contact your local Diocese so that this can be corrected.

Changes to your personal information, such as your contact details for example, which are not visible on the National Register, can be made by you by logging into the People System.
