Pension based on basic pay

I am trying to setup a pension scheme on Sage Payroll 50. On the employee tax I select percentage and it give me 3 options. I am not sure which one to pick as I only want the pay calculated on their basic pay excluding any bonuses or overtime. Can anyone help?
  • Hi William,

    When you set up a pension scheme to calculate a percentage of the employeeâ€Tms wages, you can choose one of the following options:

    • Apply to all Pensionable Earnings
    • Restrict to Statutory N.I. Upper/Lower Bands
    • Restrict to Specific Upper/Lower Bands

    You can refer to Ask Sage article 13119 to help you decide which of these options is correct for your pension scheme:

    If youâ€Tmre still unsure you can check with your pension provider who will be able to confirm this for you.
