How do i pay extra monthly payments towards a staff members pension, its currently set up via a percentage

We have two staff members that are getting a set monthly amount into their pension on top of the calculated percentage contribution. How do i implement this on the payroll package.

Hello Helen81, thanks for getting back to us on which version you are using in your account. So you would have to enter an adjusted % rate so that you get the correct figures or enter fixed amounts, you do this by :-

 

Entering zero %'s within the employee pension and then when you run the payrun you select actions within the employee and select HMRC adjustments and a field will appear and you enter the employee pension, select the box if its tax relief in and enter a fixed amount then select the actions> HMRC adjustments again another field will appear and you select the employer pension option and again enter a fix amount in then run the payroll.
