Pension reports

If you use Sage Payroll to process pensions, you may want to run pension reports.

For example, you may want to check how much you need to pay your pension provider, or see how much you've paid into the pension so far this year.

This article explains the pension reports you can run in Sage Payroll and where to find them.

Which reports can I run?

There are 3 pension reports in Sage Payroll.

  • Review contributions & record payments. See how much your employees have paid into their pension each month. You can then use this information to work out and record the payment to your pension provider for that month.
  • Pension contributions report. See how much has been paid into the pension for each employee, so far this year. The report shows the amounts up to and including the current pay run.
  • Employee status report. See whether your employees are auto enrolled into the pension or not.

Review contributions & record payments

Before you run this report, you need to complete all processing within the pension reference period. This is normally the tax month.

  1. To run this report, select Pensions.
  2. For the pension plan you want to view information for, select Review contributions & record payments.
  3. Choose the pension reference period you want to record your payment for, then select View detailed contributions.
  4. If required, change the amount to pay, then enter your payment date and a reference or cheque number.
  5. Select Record Payment.

If you use Sage Accounting, this can also post the payment across to your accounting software. This takes the money out of your bank account and reduces the amount you owe your pension provider.
