Align Pay Reference Period

You can choose to align the pay reference period with pay periods or tax periods depending on your requirements.

You can set this value in the Pay Reference Period field, in the Pensions Automatic Enrolment Information calculation component details in the calculation card. The application uses this for employee assessment. You can select one of these values:

• Align pay reference period with the tax period dates: Selecting this option aligns your pay reference period to the current tax periods. This is the default value.
• Align pay reference period with the pay period dates: Selecting this option aligns the pay reference period to the period when the employee is paid, or the earnings period.
