Answer:
For this, you’d need to provide two service lines, one for the service up to the reduction, and one for the reduction.
For the service line without the reduction in pay, you’d need to provide the actual pensionable pay relating to the service period only, leaving the status indicator and notional pensionable pay fields blank.
For the service line with the reduction due to family leave, you’d need to provide the actual pensionable pay relating to the service period only, provide the status indicator as ‘FL’ and the notional pensionable pay value as the pensionable earnings they would have earnt if they weren’t on reduced pay.
The members contribution tier would then be calculated based on the actual pensionable pay from the first period, plus the notional pensionable pay from the family leave period multiplied by 12 to annualise it. The tier should then be identified with this amount.
