Setting up a Penfold Pension in FreshPay

👉 Tip: You'll need the 'EmployerID,' a unique code assigned by Penfold to each employer. Typically, it starts with PEN followed by your Company Number. You can find it on the dashboard 👇


To set up your Penfold scheme open FreshPay and navigate to the Pension tab. Select add new provider. This will open a pop-up window, where you should:

  1. Choose Penfold from the Select pension provider drop-down menu

  2. Tick Set as an auto-enrolment pension scheme

  3. Enter a Scheme name, for example: Penfold Pension.

  4. Tick Automatically send to Penfold

  5. Enter your Penfold Employer Id

  6. Enter a Group Name, for example: Basic contributions.

  7. Enter percentages in the Employee contribution and Company contribution fields.

  8. Select a Contribution basis from the drop down menu

  9. Select a Relief type from the drop down menu

Click Submit – and you’re all done with the Penfold setup! Now, you’re ready to enrol employees into the pension.
