Your worker action file (WAF) is a CSV file showing changes you need to make in your payroll software, before you run your next payroll, to take account of any instructions your workers have given about their pension contributions.
The WAF will list the actions below.
- Opting out.
- Stopping or re-starting contributions.
- Starting, stopping or changing extra contributions.
You’ll need to make these changes in your payroll software as soon as you can. Otherwise, you could have errors in your pension data files and your next file upload might not be accepted. Our system will not be expecting contributions for workers who have opted out or stopped their contributions.
