Set Up MyCSP Interface Process

You need to set up the Generate MyCSP Interface process to enable you to manage employee records.

Generate MyCSP Interface Process

The Generate MyCSP Interface process will allow you to:

  • Archive the set of data sent to MyCSP.
  • Identify any employee records that have failed the validations, via the Errors and Warnings report.
  • View errors and warnings for those records so that you can correct the data and regenerate the files prior to submission.
  • Retry only the set of records that have errored.
  • Generate the interface files.

Pension Schemes and Contributions

In addition, to calculate and report the pension contributions correctly, the Element task has been enhanced to support the rules and regulations specific to the Civil Service Pension Schemes. Using this task, you are now able to define pension elements for each of the PCSPS schemes.

Support the attribution required, setup, and calculation of public sector pension schemes:

  • Identification of the pension scheme type, which is critical as it drives a lot of the content of the files
  • Assumed pensionable pay, where employee’s earnings are reduced below a certain level due to certain absence types, employer’s contributions are based on the pensionable pay the employee would have received as if they were at work.
  • Tiered contribution rates: contribution rates depend on the employee’s salary band.
  • Handling of multiple Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVC)

Member Inclusion Criteria for Reporting in the MyCSP Interface

The minimum criteria required for an employee to be considered for reporting in the MyCSP interface is either:

  • They are enrolled in a MyCSP pension scheme – there is an active MyCSP scheme component on their Benefits and Pensions card and an assignment association to it as of the MyCSP interface process date.
  • They have opted out of a MyCSP pension scheme – the Active Qualifying Scheme Name is a MyCSP pension scheme and the Reason for Leaving Qualifying Scheme is Contractual Opt-out or Left Scheme on their Pensions Automatic Enrolment card as of the MyCSP interface process date. They may or may not have a Benefits and Pensions card.

Employees with a termination date one or more days prior to the cutover date are excluded from cutover. If an employee is terminated retrospectively prior to the cutover date (and they’ve been reported in the cutover submission), they aren’t included in subsequent monthly interface submissions.

Identify and Troubleshoot Issues with your Data

Two diagnostic reports are available in the Diagnostics Framework to help you identify and troubleshoot issues that will cause problems with your MyCSP reporting if not addressed:

  • HCM UK MyCSP Generic Setup Diagnostics
  • HCM UK MyCSP Interface and Assignment Diagnostics These reports identify issues with:
  • Your initial setup
  • A cutover or specific monthly interface submissions
  • A specific assignment
