To complete either your online (OLR) or CSV monthly submission, you must review your payroll dashboard and confirm your employer contribution payment for the payroll period.
Your payroll dashboard
The payroll dashboard provides an overview of:
- The latest upload.
- The submission status.
- Pay summary.
- Contributions for the period and Year to date (YTD).
- Any tolerance failures.
- Payment of expected employer contributions for the period.
- Total payments made.
- Difference between expected and payments made.
Remittance Confirmation
To progress with a submission, you will see the Remittance Confirmation pop-up window. Enter the total payment you plan to make. If the amount differs to the Total Payments Due amount, you will be prompted to add a reason for the difference.
i-Connect submission and payment reconciliation
If there is a difference between your monthly i-Connect submission and the actual payment we receive, you must complete a Submission reconciliation form.
This form is required to allow the Finance team to correctly allocate your payments, failure to do this can affect your future contribution rates.
If the difference is for deficit or surplus only, then the form is not required.
You will need to complete a Submission reconciliation form if the differences are due to:
- Leavers in the period which are not included within your i-Connect submission.
- Deficit element included within employer contributions for FRS Accounting purposes, but not actually paid to the fund.
- Back pay.
- Prior period adjustments.
- Omitted lines (other reasons than above which would be included in the total payment made).
Your i-Connect data submission should be completed before payment is made unless:
- Unitary employers with outsourced payrolls.
- Employers unable to upload to i-Connect for over two months.
