When Monthly Data Collection was introduced, it brought with it a change in the circumstance of when a Certificate of Re-employment is needed for members who re-enter employment after taking their retirement benefits. We’ll contact those members directly to let them know that they need to complete a Certificate via their My Pension Online account.

If they’re nearing or have exceeded their earnings limit, or if they’ve multiple contracts with a single employer and choose to defer their pension, they’ll need to complete their online submission by 5 April, or as soon as possible on re-entering employment.

Once the member has completed Part A of the Certificate, you’ll need to complete Part B via the Employer Portal. If you can’t complete the Certificate until the end of the current tax year, you should complete the first two questions and then save the form for completion when service and salary is available. This will stop any further reminders being sent to the member.
