All headings (such as row 1 in the example below) MUST be removed from the CSV file that you upload.
Before the report is loaded into our system, it must be converted to a CSV file. Importantly, you must ensure that any numeric fields are set to zero if they have no value and are not left blank, and that Address lines 1 and 2 have been populated (Address lines 3 and 4 can be blank). An example of what a file should look like before you upload it is shown below.
Note: It is important that you provide a unique company-issued or personal email address for each employee included on your Data File. Cushon Master Trust communicates important information directly to members, so you don’t have to.
Without this information, employees will not be able to access their account online or receive important updates about their workplace pension. If Cushon MasterTrust is unable to communicate statutory information directly to employees on this payroll file because of missing email addresses, it will be your responsibility to complete this activity.
