How can employers set up and make pension contributions to Jarvis?
Employers looking to contribute to their employees' pensions through Jarvis must follow a straightforward setup and contribution process. This guide outlines the steps to get started and manage contributions effectively.
Overview of Employer Pension Enrollment
Jarvis provides a streamlined process for employers to set up pension schemes and make contributions for their employees. The process ensures that employers remain in control at every step, with payments only being collected after explicit approval.
Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up an Employer Account
To begin contributing to an employee's Jarvis pension, employers need to:
Provide Company Details: Jarvis will send the employer a form to capture their company details. This information is used to create the employer's pension scheme.
Complete the Setup: Once the form is submitted, Jarvis will finalise the setup of the employer account, enabling them to start making contributions.
How to Submit Contributions Each Pay Period
After the employer account is set up, contributions can be submitted through the Jarvis portal by following these steps:
Upload Contribution Details: Enter the worker’s details, pay period, and contribution amount into the portal.
Review and Approve: Carefully review the uploaded details and approve the collection in the portal.
Payment Collection: Payments are taken via direct debit only after the employer approves the collection each month. This ensures that employers maintain control over the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a new employer pay into an employee’s Jarvis pension?
Yes, but the new employer must first set up an employer account with Jarvis. Without this setup, contributions cannot be made. This applies to scenarios such as transitioning from an umbrella company to direct PAYE.
What happens if the employer does not approve the collection?
Payments will not be taken unless the employer explicitly approves the collection in the Jarvis portal. This ensures that employers have full control over the contribution process.
