To make sure pension scheme data remains accurate and compliant, employers should routinely review and update employee records for all casual employees enrolled in the pension scheme.
Keeping payroll records open for casual employees who have not worked may affect their pension entitlements, such as eligibility for ill-health pensions with enhancements or death in service benefits.
The pensions team conducts regular data cleansing of information submitted via i-Connect and will notify you of any members who have not received payment for an extended period, so that you can assess whether it is appropriate to close their payroll record.
