The LGPS treats every role that an employee may have as a separate pension pot, with job titles, pay period earnings, EES/ERS conts, weekly hours, full time equivalent pay etc required separately on a monthly basis.
We navigate around this by using supplementary Excel sheets to split out contributions for separate pension pots and being very careful/precise with our pay codes so that they clearly describe each role, but all of this requires a lot of training, time and manual intervention, which as we grow is becoming harder and harder to manage.
If employees could have separate Sage records within the same company, which are then linked for total taxable, NI'able pay (in order to reach accurate net pay figures) we could populate each record with the relevant information for that particular role, which would then allow for automated pension pot splits and reporting. This would save us hundreds of hours of manual work, which even with the best will in the world, is always open to human error.
We understand that this might take some considerable effort in terms of coding/functionality and would be willing to work with Sage developers to help make it work but I find it hard to believe that we are the only Sage customers who have this problem. We would also be happy to pay for this as an optional extra (within reason).
