1. Pay Variance Report – This report has been modified to selectively add the employers Pension apportioned to each site. If this option is selected the pension amount is included with the Employers NI as 1 figure.
2. Actual Site Margin Report – This report has been modified to apportion the Employers pension between sites. Depending on the report selected this will either be included with the Employers NI or as a separate figure.
3. Payroll to Nominal Posting – This process has been modified to split the Employers NI and Pension by site analysis code. Due to the nature of this apportionment there may be minor amounts posted to the default account without an analysis code.
4. Workplace Pensions – Opt-Out’s. Previously, the date of refunds was pre-determined as the following period to provide the employer with maximum allowable processing time. This date is now user modifiable to allow refunds to be processed sooner.
5. Workplace Pensions – Additional help and guidance is available within the Pensions Maintenance screens via a series of on screen prompts and easily accessible pdf’s
6. Workplace Pensions – A Salary Sacrifice option is now available for deduction of contributions. This tells CleanLink Site Manager to deduct contributions from Gross pay (before Tax & NI are applied). Please note: you cannot operate Salary Sacrifice arrangements simply because your pension company allows it, rather such arrangements have to be agreed by each individual worker and care must be taken to ensure that you do not confuse the operation of a salary sacrifice arrangement with the entirely separate workplace pension obligations – i.e. you must guard against your employees believing that they must enter a salary sacrifice arrangement to also be part of the workplace pension scheme. This is not the case. CleanLink Site Manager allows you to specify the operation of Salary Sacrifice at both Scheme and individual employee levels. Also, please note that deductions will only be taken under salary sacrifice in the presence of an NI number and where doing so would not take the worker’s pay below the level of the National Minimum Wage.
