Where can you find your account information in NOW pension?
When in your NOW Pension account you should go to your ‘Employer settings’. Here you will find your:
ER (Employer) code: a 4 digit alphanumeric code
Pay code: Each payroll has its own code which you will have assigned. If you only have one payroll this code will be P001.
Start of earnings period: To find your start of earnings period go to the main screen of your account. Here you should see the dates of your next contributions period.
In the ‘Start of earning period’ box on PayFit you should input the date that is shown as the the red box of your own account (it may not always be the 1st of the month).
Payment due date: this is the date you have set the direct debit to be taken from NOW Pension. If you are unsure on this please check previous bank statements or contact the NOW Pension support team.
