The brand new redesigned File Checker has been issued to all employers via email.
Monthly Data Submissions
All employers are required to submit monthly submissions via the Web Portal.
This was a transition away from the old annual return model with the view to:
Improve the efficiency of how we exchange member data with employers;
Improve the quality of the data held;
Streamline financial reconciliation by auto-producing the contributions remittance form (formerly CON1B);
Reduce the number of routine tasks employers have to carry out each month to provide the Fund with current data.
A final statement will need to be submitted annually as this is a summary of the whole year and will be used for reconciliation.
Producing the File
Your monthly data submissions file is produced using Excel and must be submitted in .csv (comma delimited) format to upload successfully.
Please email us to request our File Checker. This is a tool we have developed to check formatting and any other common errors on your file before it is uploaded.
The Fund has produced an Employer Guide to assist with setting this up correctly.
The File Layout and a Sample File have also been created for additional support.
Uploading the File
Once your csv file is ready upload the file via the Web Portal. Step by step instructions can also be found in our Employer Guide.
If you are a new user you will need to register to access the Web Portal. Please email our Employer Services Team and we will send you the registration form.
If you have any further questions or require additional support regarding the process please telephone our dedicated employer helpline on
0300 111 6516 or email us at wmpfmonthlysubs@wolverhampton.gov.uk.
