It is important to note that for a company to set up a non-auto enrolment pension, you first have to have an auto-enrolment pension set up. The auto-enrolment pension can either be with an actual provider or a Ghost pension. If an auto-enrolment pension is in place, you can start setting up a non-auto-enrolment pension.
To do this, follow the steps below.
Click the Pensions tab, then click Add pension.
Click Non-AE Pension.
Enter scheme settings
Enter the pension provider name, and the pension scheme reference.
You can also add a description for the pension, to distinguish it from other schemes.
Set the tax relief type for the pension scheme. This can either be relief at source, or a net pay arrangement.
Add bands and choose band settings
Add a pension band name, then enter the contribution %s for both employee and employer.
The salary sacrifice setting also lives at a band level, so if the band is salary sacrifice, tick Yes.
Note: If you are adding multiple bands, you can choose which band is the default. Tick the This is the default contribution band checkbox against the relevant band. This means that when adding a new team member to the pension scheme, they will automatically fall into whichever band you have set as the default.
