Timing:

Immediate

Detail

1. The EPA Employer Impact Document that was issued at Annex B to EPN 385 has been updated. Employer Impact Documents explain where you need to make changes to your existing guidance and processes, so it’s important that you familiarise yourself with this information and make changes to your arrangements where necessary.
2. The updated EPA Employer Impact Document is at Annex A to this EPN. The updated information is highlighted in yellow.
3. The majority of the changes are about what you need to do after MyCSP has processed an EPA application and how to deal with someone going on to assumed pay. You will have begun to build EPA process maps, which you will need to extend to incorporate the differences in this latest version of the Employer Impact Document.
