We now have employers who are providing service submission in two different ways, the traditional Annual Service Return and the new Monthly Data Collection (MDC). As we move through this transition stage until all employers are only using MDC (from April 2018), we’ll be communicating news stories to raise the awareness of these changes. 

This has become more important as some processes now mean that it’s dependent on what system the employer is following as to what the member has to do. An example of this is the Certificate of Re-employment, which we reported last month would in most cases not be required if an employer is using MDC.
