1. Select Payroll, then select the relevant employees on your employee list.
2. Select Pension Assessment.
3. Select Yes and follow the steps in the Backup Wizard.
4. Within the pension assessment, select the employees you want to postpone then click Postpone.
   NOTE: If the Postpone option isn't available, follow our Pension Module - postpone option not available article. 
5. Enter the date up to three months away to postpone until, then select Postpone.
6. Send the postponement letter to your employees using Send Pension Correspondence. For help with doing this, follow the how do I send pension correspondence article.

You've postponed the employees, and can continue to process as normal.

Run the pension assessment each period you process. If the employees are eligible for automatic enrolment when the postponement ends, your software enrols them.

Opt in/join

An employee can still choose to opt in or join the scheme during their postponement. If they do, process the opt-in/join request in the Pensions Module.
