Sage 50 Payroll Ireland reports pension details in your submissions to Revenue. If you currently process pensions as ordinary deductions or outside payroll, NAERSA won’t recognise these employees as already in a pension. As a result, NAERSA enrols them into My Future Fund under auto-enrolment.

Before auto-enrolment starts, check that you've set up all pensions in your software, and you've linked them to a pension scheme.

Check your pension deduction setup

1. Open Sage Payroll and log into a payroll as normal.
2. From the menu bar, select Company/Payroll, then Deductions.
3. Choose a pension deduction, then select Edit.
4. Check and update these details:

   Sub-type	Select Pension / RAC / PRSA, or Pension / RAC / PRSA / CWPS if available.
   Pension Scheme	Link to the correct pension scheme.
   Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC)	If this deduction is an additional voluntary contribution, select this box.
   Balance Type	Choose Accumulate a balance.

5. Select Save.
6. Repeat these steps for all pension deductions in each payroll.
