We’ve been letting you know of our plans to allow Payroll Providers specific access to the Employer Portal, to help support your employer duties for the Teachers’ Pensions Scheme. The new developments are now live and will allow them:-

• To be allocated new LA/Establishment numbers (750/XXXX) which will be automatically created when a new Payroll Provider is added.
• To upload files to the Employer Portal on behalf of the employers, using the above reference number
• To have identical accesses to the Portal as employers. This includes member searches, downloads and member print requests.

Payroll Providers will now be required to complete a delegation form to advise Teachers’ Pensions on the contracts which they’re responsible for.

We’ve produced a series of FAQs, which will help you understand the new development and how it will work for you.

Please note:

This facility is not available to payroll providers who administer on behalf of maintained schools.　 This must still be submitted via an employer relationship (i.e. the Local Authority)

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