PayFit 🇬🇧

In PayFit, some items of pay are not pensionable by default. For example, notice pay, childcare vouchers and buy or sell annual leave. However, some pension schemes are set up to include these items of pay in the pension calculation. 

Note: If in doubt, always refer to your employment contracts and your pension provider's scheme details.

If you need to include these items of pay in an employee's pension calculation, you need to manually calculate the correct contributions, and then add the calculated contributions to the employee's record. To do this:

From the employee's record, click the Employment tab.

Scroll down to the Pension contributions section, then click Edit.

Under the Employee section, from the Contribution is a drop-down, select Fixed amount.

In the Contribution amount field, enter the manually calculated employee contribution.

Under the Employer section, from the Contribution is a drop-down, select Fixed amount.

In the Contribution amount field, enter the manually calculated employer contribution.

1. From the employee's record, click the Employment tab.
2. Scroll down to the Pension contributions section, then click Edit. 
3. Under the Employee section, from the Contribution is a drop-down, select Fixed amount. 
4. In the Contribution amount field, enter the manually calculated employee contribution. 
5. Under the Employer section, from the Contribution is a drop-down, select Fixed amount. 
6. In the Contribution amount field, enter the manually calculated employer contribution.
7. Click Save.

Tip: If this is a one-off adjustment to the employee's pension, remember to switch the contribution rates back to a percentage in your next payroll.
