This guidance supplements the email that was sent to all ESS users and day-to-day contacts on Friday 17th May.

The Active List report lists all members that have an active status in the scheme. Please note that this may include members that have an ongoing leaver process running. Please ensure that when you are submitting exit interfaces to the Fund you make a note of the case number specific to the interface you are loading. You will then be able to run the ‘Employer Workflows’ report to ascertain if a particular interface has been successfully submitted to the Fund – these will be noted as ‘Complete’ in the Status column.
Employer Self-Service (ESS) is where we process the majority of your organisation's bulk member data.
You will find everything you need, including a full guidance document, videos, file layouts and an FAQ document on this page to help you navigate your way around ESS.
