Where used

/contributions request

This field must only be provided if the autoEnrolmentStatus is Non Eligible and the employee has asked to opt in to the scheme. The value must be on or after the date the employer’s auto-enrolment duties begin.

Where an enrolment date (autoEnrolmentDate, optInDate, schemeJoinDate) is provided and we hold an opt out date on the system, the latter of these dates will be used and the relevant rules will be applied.
