As we know that many of you use payroll providers to support administering the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, we’ve been looking at the opportunity to provide them with specific access to the Employer Portal. Currently payroll providers have to submit information via the Employer they are contracted with. However new developments will allow payroll providers the ability to provide service and salary details through the Employer Portal for the establishments they have delegated authority for. These tasks can include:-

• Submitting service and salary details to Teachers’ Pensions
• Submitting contribution returns (the monthly contributions remittance slip) to Teachers’ Pensions
• Providing either the Annual Service Return or Monthly Data Collection extract
• Direct deposit of pay into employee bank accounts
• Filing of quarterly and annual finance reports
• Completion of year end certificates

To provide your payroll provider with access, you will be required to complete a delegation form on their behalf, identifying the level of access required by the Payroll Provider and submitted to us, advising who will be providing the data.

Please note:

If you’re a school managed by a Local Authority, please note Teachers’ Pensions delegation forms should only be completed by the Local Authority.
