NOTE: When you sign up as an Employer with Smart Pension, you will be asked to provide details of the person who will act as the signatory on the Pension Scheme. 

If this person is also an Employee on MyPAYE, it is crucial that you enter the National Insurance Number for this person, and also enter their Payroll Ref from MyPAYE in the External ID field, in their Customer record in Smart Pension so that Smart Pension can match their contributions correctly. 

All other employees will be automatically created as Customers in Smart Pension when their first contributions are posted to Smart Pension.
