Provider Introduction

By using this payroll download facility manual intervention is completely eliminated. There are very obvious benefits, especially the assurance of 100% accuracy as the pension contribution information is downloaded directly from your payroll system and is uploaded directly onto our business systems in Irish Life. Another important benefit is that the payroll download development helps employers to meet their compliance obligations in relation to the '21 day rule' (Pensions Amendment Act).

The requirement is that all contributions deducted from employees and due from employers must be paid to the pension scheme within 21 days of the end of the month in which they were deducted or became due. It is your responsibility to ensure that you arrange for the transmission of this report and payment of contributions within the prescribed timeframe.
