Opt out of pension after 12 week postpone

Opting an employee out of pension is easy in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll, and I'm here to help you complete this process, sandratippettcry.

The method of opting employees out of a pension scheme will vary depending on your payroll plan (Standard, Advanced, or Core Payroll). If you're using QBO Standard Payroll, please take note of the following details before proceeding:

• The employee must contact the pension provider within a set period
• If the employee does opt out correctly, then your pension provider will provide details of a valid removal
• If there's a valid opt-out, then any pension contributions deducted from the employee must be refunded on the next available payroll run
• You'll (as an employer) also receive a refund of any employer contributions paid to the pension provider
• You cannot influence the employee to opt-out, it’s illegal to put pressure in any way on them

Whenever you're ready, here's how:

1. Go to Employee and click on the employee's record.
2. Select Workplace Pension.
3. Turn off the Enrolled in pension toggle.
4. Choose Opt Out.
5. Enter the effective opt-out date, then Save.
