Adding a Pension Membership or Postponement

The Pension Details section against the payee holds details of:

The payee's pension membership
If they are an exception to automatic enrolment and the reason for the exception
Postponement periods

FastTrack360 manages the pension automatic enrolment process and assess payees in the pay batch to determine their eligibility for automatic pension enrolment. FastTrack360 will then inject the pension membership or postponement at pay batch close based on the rules. Therefore, on the creation of a payee record, you do not need to do anything unless you wish to override the automatic process or manage pension automatic enrolment manually.

How to Exclude a Payee From Automatic Enrolment
