True once a P45 has been issued for this employment (post-cessation). Drives the weekly NIC earnings period for post-P45 payments. Distinct from the inbound-starter p45_gross_pay/p45_tax_amount in tax, which carry a new joiner's prior-employer figures.
True for casual staff and anyone else not paid every pay period (seasonal, annual director pay). Reported to HMRC as IrrEmp so the employment is not treated as ceased after a run of periods without payment.
Whether the worker's ordinary place of work under their contract is in the UK (per TPR Detailed Guidance No. 1). If False, the employer has no statutory auto-enrolment duties for this worker. Employees on temporary overseas secondment who remain on UK payroll and whose ordinary place of work is the UK stay True: this flag reflects the contractual base, not the employee's current physical location.
Why the worker does not ordinarily work in the UK. Required, and other than NOT_APPLICABLE, when ordinarily_works_in_uk is False; must be NOT_APPLICABLE when it is True.

Null to inherit the pay group's basis; set it only to override that basis for this employee.
