How the Scheme Works

As an employer you will have access to our online system which gives you the facility to update and amend member’s records.

Each month you will receive an e-mail to remind you to upload contributions. 

You will be able to make changes to your account including notification of leavers, new entrants. 

From October 2024 employers will be required to upload contributions rather than just providing updates on the contributions generated by the Last date for changes as shown in the Schedule of Contribution Statements.

You are required to approve your DD each month and payment will be collected by direct debit by the Payment due date as shown in the Schedule of Contribution Statements.

In particular please note the following:

• Where the Scheme receives late notification of leavers or contribution changes, overpayments may not be refunded and administrative charges may apply.
• Where the Scheme receives late notification of new entrants, death in service cover may be at risk.

These timescales will help employers to comply with the regulatory duties stipulated by the Pensions Regulator, in particular those duties concerning member record keeping, the correct and timely payment of pension contributions and timescales for notifying leavers of their pension rights.

Detailed guidance notes on how to complete online processing are provided in the Support section.
