How does Auto Enrolment pension deductions show in Sage Accounts? And why is payslip showing 2 deductions for the member of staff?

Posted By Jeremy Atkinson over 8 years ago

I reached my staging date (1st April) and have 2 issues:

1) The staff payslip shows 2 deductions as below. This doesn't look right to me, surely I as the employer have to pay the Er figure listed on paylsip. There is no subsequent credit on it so staff member has paid both amounts. Have I done something wrong?

Ee Pension (inc AVC) £x.xx

Er Pension (inc Sal. Sacrifice) £x.xx

2) First dd has come out to pay NEST. What nominal code do I use to allow for this in Sage Accounts 50?

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,

From the information provided, I am assuming that the pension scheme is a Salary Sacrifice scheme?

With a Salary Sacrifice Scheme, the payslip needs to show an amount on the employee side (to show that the Gross has been reduced). In the deductions side, the Er Pension shows the total amount.

Thanks,

Brian

With regards to the Nominal Code to use for the payment to NEST, it depends if you have set NEST up as a supplier?

If they're not set up as a supplier, you could record a Bank Payment (BP) from the required bank account to your Employer's Pension nominal code. By default, this is 7007. For confirmation on which nominal code to use, you should double-check with your accountant.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Sara,

To clarify, is the problem you’re having that both the employee and employer pension deductions are showing on your payslips and you’re using NEST pensions?
