Submission deadline rule (6:30pm cut-off)
Auto-Enrolment contributions are always calculated at 1.5% of the employee’s gross earnings for the period.
Correction AECS submissions can only be submitted up to 6:30pm on the employee’s pay date.
Once the 6:30pm cut-off time has passed:
- the period is closed
- AECS corrections cannot be made through payroll
- AE contributions already submitted cannot be amended
- any required changes must be made manually on the MyFutureFund employer portal
- Payroll cannot retrospectively amend Auto-Enrolment submissions after this deadline.
Manual corrections after the cut-off time
Where the 6:30pm deadline has passed, any required correction must be carried out directly on the MyFutureFund employer portal.
Payroll software cannot make any contribution adjustments after this point.
