We've advanced payroll and NEST pension. We've two "contribution plans" set up in the payroll but have an employee who'd like to increase their contribution. Do we just set up another contribution plan and put that employee in it, and next payroll run the increased amount will be calculated and paid to NEST, or do we also need to do something in NEST? Please advise. Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the QuickBooks Community, Mandy 

 

We'll be happy to share some guidance on changing contribution amounts for your employee in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll. 

 

You can keep the employee on the same contribution plan and simply edit the amount of their individual contribution. To do this:

 

1. Go to the Employee list and click on the employee to edit
2. Select Pension settings
3. Check they are on the correct pension contribution plan
4. On the percentages for the Employee Contribution Percentage tick Override 
5. Enter the percentage they want (If applicable, repeat for Employer Contribution Percentage)
6. Save

 

On the next payroll, the new pension amount will be calculated and submitted to Nest (if Pensionsync is active). You can also find further options for making additional contributions on the Nest site. 

 

Thanks for reaching Intuit QuickBooks support on the Community today. We'll be around if you have any further questions!
