Automatic enrolment exclusions

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

How to set auto enrolment exclusions using the Pensions Module in Sage 50 Payroll.

Description

If you set an exclusion reason for an employee, they're no longer assessed for automatic enrolment or, cyclical re-enrolment. For example, they may be working their notice period.

If the employee's circumstances change, you must update the employee's exclusion reason to No Exclusion for the employee to be included in pension assessment.

Resolution
