COMPS minimum payment not met for this employee
Help Document

Diagnosis

The total pension contributions (employee, employer and any Additional Voluntary Contributions) paid into the COMPS scheme are lower than the required COMPS minimum payment for this employee.

System Response

By default, a payroll rejection is triggered for the employee. However, it is possible to customise the system response in feature GCMIN, so that instead of a payroll rejection, you can either:

  • Trigger a payroll exception in table EXCEP, or
  • Disable the COMPS minimum payment check.

Procedure

Investigate the cause of the problem. You must ensure that the employee and employer COMPS pension contributions (plus any Additional Voluntary Contributions made) are equal to or exceed the COMPS minimum payment. The value of the COMPS minimum payment is the sum of wage types /307 (employee share of minimum payment) and /308 (employer share of minimum payment). The employee and employer pension contributions (plus any Additional Voluntary Contributions made) are based on the amounts in the wage types assigned to the employee's COMPS scheme in view V_T5G37_A (pension scheme calculation wage types). Any retroactive pension contribution differences are also included in the comparison in the IN-period.

In addition, the payroll log contains extensive details of this calculation and the checks made. This can be viewed in the log under GB NIC.

If you fail to pay sufficient funds into the COMPS scheme for all your employees, you may lose the contracted out status of the scheme.
