Adding Employee Pension Details

When setting up a new employee, the fifth step involves adding their pension details. To complete this process, fill in the following fields:

  • Pension Group: Select the appropriate pension group associated with the client.

  • Pension Provider: This field will be pre-filled based on the selected pension group.

  • Employee's Contribution Override: If you need to override the default employee contribution percentage, enter the new value here. It can be either a percentage or a fixed amount (£).

  • Employer's Contribution Override: If you need to override the default employer contribution percentage, specify it in this field. It can be either a percentage (%) or a fixed amount (£).

  • Employee's AVC (Additional Voluntary Contribution): You can enter an additional voluntary contribution amount for the employee, either as a percentage (%) or a fixed amount (£).

  • Worker Type: Defines the employee's pension eligibility status, which can be: Entitled, Non-Eligible, Eligible, or No Duties. This status will be updated after a payroll run if the employee is part of the pension scheme.

  • Enrolment Status: Indicates the employee's pension enrolment status, which can be: Auto-Enrolled, Postponed, Opted-out or Opted-in. This status will also be updated after a payroll run if the employee is in the pension scheme.

Saving and Exiting the Setup

Once all needed details are entered, click "Save" to proceed. At any point, you can click "Exit Setup" to leave the setup process and complete it later.

Note: You can use the section indicator at the top to navigate to the relevant section.
