You use the Pension Remittance Notification to notify employees that a particular pension deduction will be remitted on their next payslip. Let's set this up now.

Set up Pension Remittance Notifications

1. On the menu bar, click Company/Payroll then click Company Details. 
2. Click the Misc. tab.
3. In the bottom section:
   1. Tick the Pension Remittance Notification to enable the note on the payslip
   2. In the field, enter the text you wish to appear on the payslip. The maximum number of characters is 54.
      TIP: You should not word the notification in the future tense, because this could lead to the message being incorrect in the payslip on which it appears.
   3. Click OK.
4. After ending the period, remit the pension contribution file. 
   CAUTION: To ensure the pension remittance notification appears on the payslip, you must remit the pension file even if the exported file is not used.
5. In the following pay period, the pension remittance note will appear on each employees' payslip.

The remittance notification is distributed if the following conditions are satisfied

• You have opened the Pension Contributions window (by clicking Process Pension in the desktop process map), and then clicked Remit. This generates the pension file.
• You have made pension deductions on behalf of the relevant employee since the last time the Remit button was clicked.

If the employee does not receive a payslip, you must arrange written notification for them of remittances made in that particular month.

An employee may not receive a payslip in the following circumstances

Leavers
You can notify leavers in whatever manner suits your payroll. The Employee Payslip Note can be used if the Pension Notification message is not due to appear on the payslips in the pay period the employee is leaving.

Suspended Employees
You can notify suspended employees in whatever manner suits your payroll. The Employee Payslip Note can be used if the Pension Notification message is not due to appear on the payslips in the pay period the employee is suspended.

Negative Net Pay
You must arrange an alternative method of notification, since the employee will not receive a payslip.

Employee on holidays
If employees receive pay in advance of their holidays, and will not receive their payslip in the period in which notification would normally appear, you should arrange an advance notification. This notification should state that the deductions will be remitted within 21 days following the end of the month in which the deduction was made.
