A workplace pension is a way of saving for retirement that an organisation will arrange for its employees. The organisation must automatically enrol employees into a pension scheme and make contributions when employees meet certain criteria. However, employees can opt out if they want.
The Pension feature within the Employee File module changes depending on whether you have a connection to one of our payroll offerings or you have an HR-only platform. If you connected Employment Hero to a payroll platform, the page is a read-only summary with the details stored and managed via your payroll platform, if you have no connection to a payroll platform, then you can use this feature to edit your employees Pension details.
