UK Pension Role Features and Authorizations

In order to carry out UK pension auto-enrolment tasks, you need to have certain features and access authorizations assigned to your user role.

You must have, at minimum, the following features assigned to your user role:

  • Application Container > People > Employee Profile > Payroll > Pension
  • Benefits Setup > Plans and Options
  • Pensions > Administration
  • Pensions > Postponement Set-up

It's also recommended that you have the following features assigned to your user role so that you can access key pieces of information:

  • Application Container > People > Employee Profile > Employment > Employment Settings > Employment Status
  • Application Container > People > People List > Include Employees with No Work Assignments
  • Payroll > Pay Run Management

Role features are found in System Admin > Roles, in the Features tab.

You don’t need any particular access authorizations to set up or maintain pension auto-enrolment, but it's recommended that you have the same permissions for access authorizations as most payroll and benefits administrators. Those access authorizations are as follows:

  • Employee Benefit Information
  • Employee Payroll Elections

Note: If the user configuring auto-enrolment or maintaining pension auto-enrolment records shouldn't have access to employee pay information, you should clear the Can Read checkbox for the Employee Pay Information access authorization.

Access authorizations are found in System Admin > Roles, in the Authorizations tab.

See Configure User Role Authorizations in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.
