Prerequisites

Rules and Guidelines

  • This screen is only enabled for Auto Enrolment Pension Scheme Type set on the Pension Scheme Creation and/or Selection screen. If the Scheme is Qualifying or Non-Qualifying, the user is moved to the fourth screen of the Wizard -> Pensionable Pay.

  • The standard qualifying test for AE is based on Assessable Earnings, also known as Qualifying Earnings. By default, all earnings attracting NI contributions will be included in the calculation of Qualifying Earnings. The codes included in this calculation are shown below and can be tailored, if required. Please note that the assessable earnings can be different from pensionable pay depending on the Scheme Rules. Please contact your Pension Provider for advice on this.

  • The buttons move Pay Codes from right to left for NI'able non-pension pensionable codes to be removed, and non-Ni'able pensionable codes to be added.

  • Validation and Save are performed upon clicking Next.
  • Fields that are marked with red asterisks (*) are mandatory.
