Monthly contributions 
We’d just like to remind you, when making payments with MDC, you should also forward the Monthly Breakdown form at the same time. This applies even if you’ve made the payment before the deadline of the 7th of the month. This is to ensure that contributions can be correctly allocated to the relevant accounts.

Maternity pay and contributions
Member and employer contributions for those members on maternity leave should be calculated based on the member’s actual salary earned and to reference the tier rate the member would be in if still on their normal full pay. This seems to be a common issue to a wide number of employers.

Arrears Invoices 
Please remember when making payments, the invoiced contributions should be paid to the account quoted on the invoice and not the monthly contributions account.

End of Year Certificate (EOYC)
If you’re yet to email us your EOYC, please ensure when emailing the team to include your establishment number in the email subject header.

EOYC underpayments 
After we’ve confirmed that your EOYC has been processed, underpayments should be paid as a separate payment. We request this is done by completing a Year End Breakdown form. The underpayment shouldn’t be included in the normal monthly contributions submission.

Flexibility (Added/Additional Pension) payments 
If a member has made an election for flexibility payments, when making payments with MDC, they should be entered in the relevant field in the Monthly Breakdown form and not included in the member tiers.
