Missing Employment ID for employee

Hi,
One of my employees does not have a employment ID associated with them in the RPN file that is generated in ROS, so when I try to submit my payroll for January the submission is being marked as invalid as the employee must have an employment ID.

The problem is I cannot see anywhere in ROS where you can enter the employment ID of an existing employee?

Anyone know how I can update this value for an existing employee, already listed in the RPN file, but with no employment ID?

It comes from the employer side and normally the payroll software would set one.

There is guidance from Revenue on it here

If still doesn't work contact your payroll providers helpline.

Yes thanks, was chatting with ROS there.

Basically it cant be done on ROS. It must be provided by Payroll Software provider.

Sadly in this case my provider, Bullet, has not provided the functionality. Big oversight on their part.

For anyone in my shoes (i.e. a Bullet customer with an existing employee without an employmentID) there is actually a way around it:
You have to do a manual payroll submission on ROS yourself.

You can use the tax calculations that Bullet has done for you - but just don't use their payroll submission functionality as it will not work.
Then on ROS, during that manual payroll submission you can actually set an employmentID for the employee. then for the next payroll submission the next RPN file you generate should have an employmentID for the employee so it should work in Bullet from then on.
