Cintra iQ has an Auto Enrolment (AE) facility, which takes you through the process of amending a pension scheme set up, defining which payment headings are pensionable and which headings are classed as Qualifying Earnings, running an assessment, and enrolling employees into the relevant Auto Enrolment scheme. Cintra iQ can also manage Opt ins and Opt outs.
From Staging Date onwards, for every pay period you will need to assess your employees to identify any employees who need to be auto enrolled. Once you have entered all period input and performed a full payroll calculation, you can create assessments to identify the categories of employees. You can run the AE assessment in the Payroll Workflow. This makes it easier for you to process auto enrolment over several payrolls at one time.
Information:
An Auto Enrolment assessment must be performed before you can move the payroll to the next period.
