You will receive an email around the 18th of each month telling you that contributions for that month can now be uploaded. For example, if it is 18th January, contributions collected from employees in January can be uploaded to the website. View Schedule of Payments.
To complete this monthly process you need to follow these steps:
Manage employees
- Ensure all eligible employees have been added to your online account, new employees can be added individually or in bulk.
- Update any contribution level changes or changes in payment frequency, these can be updated on each individual employee record or can be updated for multiple employees at a time.
- Update any employees who have left the company.
Contribution upload
- Create a contribution file from your payroll system and upload this file to your online account (See guidance for payroll systems and the required upload file format).
- Manually enter the data into the data grid found on the Upload Contributions page by selecting the Open Data Grid button.
Confirm Direct Debit
Save Contribution Statement
- Save a copy of the Contribution Statement for your records
Email reminders will be sent so that you know when contributions should be uploaded each month. This is to ensure that the Direct Debit value is correctly calculated, and the contributions are invested in Members' Accounts in a timely manner.
An email is then sent two days before the Direct Debit is collected as a final confirmation of the amount due to be collected.
