A brief guide for new employers

Last updated: 1 April 2024

Submitting pension information

i-Connect is the Fund’s default method of data submission. All employers are onboarded to i-Connect when entering the Fund. We issue charges for manual data submissions. There are occasions when you will need to complete a form, such as when a member leaves their employment and pension benefits are payable. You will also be required to provide final pay calculations for those with an entitlement to final salary benefits. Forms can be found on the Guides, Forms and Booklets webpage.

All forms should be uploaded to i-Connect using the document upload facility. Please see the ‘i-Connect document upload’ guide for details on how to do this. More details about when these forms need to be completed can be found in the Roles and Responsibilities document.

Year-end actions

There are regular actions that you need to take each April which include ensuring all information in respect of the previous year has been uploaded to i-Connect and actioning the updated member contribution rates table.

You will also be issued with an updated Roles and Responsibilities document which you will need to review to ensure that you have incorporated any changes into your procedures. We will send you notice at year-end detailing each action.

More information can be found in the Roles and Responsibilities document.
