Resolution

Before entering your duties start date

Even if postponing automatic enrolment, you still enter the duties start date given to you by TPR.
You can only amend the duties start date if you haven't processed any pay runs for that period.
For cyclical re-enrolment, there is no need to change your duties start date.

To enter your duties start date:

Select the Summary tab.
In the Auto Enrolment / Pensions section on the right, select Setup pensions.
Enter the duties start date you received from TPR.
Select Set duties start date.

After entering your duties start date

▼Before reaching your duties start date

The Summary tab shows a countdown until your duties start. If you need to edit your duties start date, select Amend.

NOTE: You must set up a pension before you can process a pay run or apply postponement

▼Reaching your duties start date

You will see two options on the Summary screen. Postpone Auto Enrolment and Amend duties start date.

Only use these options if required.

CAUTION: Ensure the option you choose is right before processing a pay run. You won't be able to change it later.
