An employee has asked if they could contribute an additional £100 per month to the existing Company pension plan. How can I do this in Quickbook advance payroll?

We do not want to amend any existing employer contributions; she just wants a fixed £100 to be taken from her salary and paid into the company pension plan along with her standard Employee and Employer Contributions. I would imagine this is a Pension salary sacrifice, but when I follow the steps on the help function, its doesn’t seem to work, and it only allows a various of a percentage. Not a fixed amount. I’ve also tried to add it as a deduction, which does work, but the contribution is not added to the pension amounts on the reports, so I’m not sure how I’m meant to do this. Do I deduct and remember that this deduction also needs to be added to the pension reports before I submit? I can’t submit pension directly through Quickbooks anyway, and manually upload the contributions, but is this right to do it like this?

Hello Community Users, we just wanted to pop in with an update with the resolution which worked for the original poster of this thread. What you can do if the employee wants to contribute an additional amount to their existing contribution as a one off is, you can add in a HMRC adjustment onto the pay run for the pension which will add onto the deduction but not affect their usual contribution. Any further questions at all on this feel free to add a comment.
