Where used

/accounts/{accountid} response, for each Worker Group

This field is one of four that indicate how pension contributions are calculated for employees within a Worker Group. If this field has a non-zero value, the employee’s and employer’s pension contributions are calculated as a fixed amount, not a percentage of earnings. The worker group contribution basis must be the same for employee and employer contributions.

When contributions are calculated as a percentage of earnings this field will be zero.
