👉 Tip: You'll need the 'Provider reference,' a unique code assigned by Penfold to each employer. Typically, it starts with PEN followed by your Company Number, and is also known as EmployerID. You can find it on the dashboard 👇
To create a new pension in Sage 50 Payroll, go to the Company menu and select Pensions. You can select an existing scheme to edit, or click the “New” button to create a new one.
Here are the key pieces of information you need to set up your Penfold Pension:
Details | Description - Penfold Pension
Type - Other (select Other, as GPP restricts some functionality you may need)
Qualifying Scheme - Yes
Qualifying Earnings - Optional - if ticked contributions will be calculated ONLY on earnings between £6,240 and £50,270
Salary Sacrifice Scheme - Optional - only tick if employees have entered into a Salary Sacrifice arrangement for this scheme |
Employee | Contribution - enter the minimum Percentage rate that employees contribute to the scheme
Deduct before tax - Penfold is a Relief at Source (RAS) scheme, so contributions are deducted AFTER tax, and this should be UNCHECKED |
Employer | Contribution - enter the minimum Percentage rate that the company contributes to the scheme |
Provider | Provider's Reference - a unique code assigned by Penfold to the employer. Typically, it starts with PEN followed by your Company Number, and is also known as EmployerID. |
