Pension Records for UK Employees

In the Payroll > Pension screen in People, administrators can add, edit, and delete pension records, including opt-in, opt-out, and cease membership notifications, for UK employees. Click the expand icon to view the details of the pension record.

Before You Begin: The tools in the Pension screen allow administrators to manage pension records, notifications, and deferrals for auto-enrolled pension schemes. This feature is only applicable to organizations offering auto-enrolled pension schemes in the United Kingdom.

You can toggle between viewing current (records without an end date) or all pension records for employees using the Active/All switch:

All of the information included in an individual employee pension record except the Pay Date is duplicated in Pension Auto-Enrolment > Administration, and you can find detailed descriptions of that information in Pension record columns .

The Pay Date column is only populated in Opt-Out and Cease Membership notification records or enrolment records that were ended by an opt-out. This is described in Add Opt-Out and Cease Membership Notification Records.

You might need to manually enter a record for the following reasons:

  • You want to enter a record for an employee who hasn't been assessed yet.
  • You need to enter a record for an employee who was missed when the assessment for the pay period was run (for example, the employee record wasn't added in time).
  • You need to enter an opt-in, opt-out, cease membership, or join notification record.
  • You need to enter a notification of an employee's enrolment in another qualified pension scheme.
  • You need to indicate that you have no employer duty to an employee.
  • You need to edit any of the following information in a record: pay period dates, deferral date, worker category, or member status.

You might also need to delete a record entirely.
