I’ve noticed a recurring situation in payroll where an employee becomes eligible for pension after the current pay reference period (PRP) — for example, turning 22 mid-month or having a later enrolment start date.
Right now, the software can calculate a pension deduction for that period, but the pension provider cannot accept it because the employee isn’t enrolled yet. This creates confusion, requires manual corrections, and can lead to compliance issues.
It would be really helpful if there was an option to defer pension deductions to the next payroll period when the enrolment start date is after the PRP. Maybe a simple “Next Month Deduction” checkbox or an automated rule could handle this. This small change could save time, reduce errors, and make payroll more accurate for everyone.
I have noticed than when an employee goes from being 21 to 22 (Entitled to Eligible) our pension system would still defer for 3 months, whereas Staffology would put them in the pension straight away. This means that we deduct too early and the pension provider wouldn't accept the payment until 3 months later. Is there a way to defer these employees in the system for 3 months based on them turning 22?
