If your employee has multiple jobs but they’re on the same pay band, they can pension up to their Notional Whole Time (NWT) equivalent.
If your employee has 2 part-time posts with you on the same rate of pay, they pay pension contributions on the pay they receive up to their whole time rate of hours. Their pensionable pay and contributions tier is based on this combined pay. If both posts are on separate pay bands, we use their higher rate of pay when calculating whole time pensionable pay.
If your employee has more than one part-time post with different employers, pay for each post is provided to us separately and pensionable up to whole time. Their contributions tiers are based on each separate employment. They may pay a higher percentage of contributions for one or more post if they're on a higher pay band for one or more post. We'll use their higher rate of pay when calculating whole time pensionable pay.
