Do I need to register anywhere?

Yes, you must activate your My Future Fund account and set up a payment method. You can do this at myfuturefund.ie.

If you're new to Sage Payroll for the 2026 tax year, you must also register to retrieve and submit data to Revenue Online Services. For more information, read Get ready for Auto enrolment.

Who decides eligibility?

NAERSA through My Future Funds decides eligibility from payroll submissions. You don't assess employees.


How can I avoid influencing employees?

You explain the available options and direct employees to official resources. Employers don't advise employees on whether to join, opt out, or suspend.


What resources can I share with staff?

The Department of Social Protection provides an information hub. Access it at gov.ie


Where do contributions show in Sage Payroll?

Payslips show contributions in the Net Deductions section. You can also run the My Future Fund contributions report from the completed pay run window.
