Follow these steps to stop pension contributions for an employee.

1. Open your employer file in BrightPay.
2. Select the employee whose pension contributions you want to stop.
3. Go to the employee’s Auto Enrolment tab.

4. Update the pension details:

   If the employee is opting out or ceasing membership:

   • Change their status to Opted Out or Ceased Membership.
   • Enter the date from which pension contributions should stop.
    

   If the employee is leaving the company:

   • Mark the employee as a Leaver and enter their leaving date.
   • BrightPay will automatically stop pension deductions after this date.
    
5. Save your changes.
6. Check your payroll:
   • Run or preview the next payroll.
   • Confirm that no pension contributions are being calculated for this employee.

Note:

You may also need to notify your pension provider of the employee’s change in status (opt-out or ceased) as BrightPay stopping deductions does not automatically update the provider.
