Employers with POL must complete the forms on POL.
For non-POL employers the forms are available on our Employer Hub.
A joiner excel spreadsheet is available if you’re opting in multiple members of staff. Non-POL employers must send these forms to schemeaccess@nhsbsa.nhs.uk.
There’s an employee questionnaire on the website for you to make sure that eligible members are enrolled in the Scheme. This is for your records and must not be sent to us.

Some members may have multiple records if they have a dependant’s pension, or they are a pension credit member.
