An admin account is the employer’s account within The People’s Pension and is used for day-to-day administration, including submitting employee data and paying money into the Scheme.
If there’s more than one payroll being operated by the same employer (eg a weekly and monthly payroll), a separate admin account is needed for each. This enables the correct employee data to be submitted for each separate payroll. This is used to differentiate your accounts in Online Services.
Each admin account has a unique account number. The admin account number can be found on the top right of Online Services, once logged in.
