Start Date A mandatory field. The first pay period start date from which the system will look for contributions. The system will generate the payment due dates from this pay period to the remaining periods in the tax year. You will need to generate these dates each tax year as part of your end of year routine. Payment Due Date Based on Date Type A mandatory field. This is the date type relative to which the contribution due date is to be generated from. There are the following options to choose from: 1. Days After Contribution Period End Date 2. End of the Contribution Period End Date Month 3. Day of the Month Following Period End For option 1, this is defining that the contribution output will be produced x days after the pay period end date. This should be selected for NOW: Pensions. This is because this provider has only 1 output to capture payees who are on postponement as well as those in a scheme as they produce the communications. Therefore, this output needs to be produced each pay period. For option 2, this is defining that the output needs to be produced for the pay period month. For example a weekly payroll has the following weeks: 3/07/2023 10/07/2023 17/07/2023 24/07/2023 All of these period contributions are for July 2023 and therefore need to be paid over to the provider the following month. This can be selected for NEST. For option 3, this is defining a specific day of the following month of the pay period end date. For example, a weekly payroll has the following weeks: 06/08/2023 13/08/2023 20/08/2023 27/08/2023 These will all be paid over in September on the specified day when Number of Days is populated. If 4 was entered, then these contributions would be paid on 4 September 2023. This can be selected for NEST. Number of Days A mandatory field. This defines how many days after the selected Payment Due Date Based on Date Type should the number of days offset, from the selected date type on which the payment due date beshould fall. For the NOW: Pensions, this would be zero as the output should be produced at the period end date. For NEST, you need to review your schedule that has been set up to obtain when you are paying across the contributions. New Enrolments Contribution Due By A mandatory field. Where you wish to delay paying over the contributions for new enrolments, you can specify the payment due date to capture those contributions and delay the details being sent to the provider until such time, thus avoiding the need to wait for a return of funds from the provider. Therefore, the same date as the standard contribution due date must be maintained. The options are: 1. Days After Contribution Period End Date 2. Day of the Month Following Number of Months After Contribution End Date Month For option 1, this is defining that the new enrolments contribution output will be produced x days after the pay period end date. This should be selected for NOW: Pensions. This is because this provider has only 1 output to capture payees who are on postponement as well as those in a scheme as they produce the communications. Therefore, this output needs to be produced each pay period and should not be delayed. Option 2, this is defining a number of days after the normal contribution end date month. You should align this with your normal contributions payment due date. For example, you could specify that any new enrolment contributions are delayed by a month after the normal contribution month. So if pay period end date was 23/07/2023, these contributions were to be paid over by 22 August 2023, where a payee was enrolled in that pay period, their contributions details would be delayed from being output to the pension provider until 22/09/2023. Number of Months This will become enabled and mandatory if option 2 of New Enrolments Contributions Due By was selected. This is specifying the number of months after the normal contribution due date month. This can be set to 0. In which case, there would not be a delay. Number of Days for New Enrolment Contributions This is a mandatory field. This is the number of days after the date determine by New Enrolments Contributions Due by. This can be set to 0. |
