Manage joiners and leavers

Overview 

Joiner or Leaver forms must be submitted on PCSE Online to start or stop contributions when a GP or a non GP Partner joins or leaves your practice.

GPs joining the practice

Before you can complete a Joiner form to start pension contributions for a GP who has started working at your practice, the GP needs to log into PCSE Online and update their employment details in the Performer List section. 

Once the GP has submitted the employment update, it's sent to the practice user with the PL Practice Manager role to approve. (Submissions by new partners also need to be approved by ICBs).

Once the employment update has been approved, the practice user with the GPP - Joiners & Leavers role needs to complete the Joiner form to confirm the GP's estimated income and tier rate to start the deduction of pension contributions.

Non GP Partner Joiners

Before you can complete a Joiner form to start pension contributions for non GP Partner, you must ensure they have been assigned the GPP – Non GP Partner role by the Practice User Administrator and their Pension Scheme Membership number (SD number) has been attached to their record by PCSE.

The practice user with the GPP - Joiners & Leavers role needs to complete the Joiner form to confirm the non GP Partner's estimated income and tier rate to start the deduction of pension contributions.

Leavers

The practice user with the GPP - Joiners & Leavers role needs to complete the Leaver form on PCSE Online as soon as they know a GP or non GP Partner is going to be leaving the practice. 

This ensures that pension contributions are stopped from the date of the GP leaving. 

Best practice

Please speak to your practice's User Administrator to ensure that any leaver's access to your organisation is deactivated in PCSE Online. Please see page 9 of the User Management guide.
