You can postpone enrolment for individual employees when they start to work for you. You can also postpone them if they become eligible for enrolment at a later date. Eligibility might happen if they have a spike in pay or turn 22 years of age.

Postpone an employee

1. Process your pay run up to the PAY stage.
2. Select the relevant employee.
3. Select Manage Enrolment.
    NOTE: This option will only be available if the employee has had a salary payment entered. 
4. Select Postpone.
5. Enter the date you want to postpone up to, and select Postpone.

    

   
   The Edit Pay screen now displays that the employee is eligible and postponed. The postponement date appears at the top of the employee edit pay screen. This appears until you reach the date.
   

   You should now send the employee a postponement notice. A postponement letter template is available for you to use. Download from the The Pensions Regulator (TPR) website.

6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for any other employees you want to postpone.
