diesel10 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi All Ive just started a new job which is paid weekly and the holiday pay all paid in the summer holiday. Does anyone know how I make a voluntary national insurance contributions to ensure that I have complete years of pension credits? Also would this ensure that I was entitled to statutory sick pay if needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I don't actually know the answer but this might be the site to go to ... Pensions advisory service It looks like they do a webchat facility - you could ask them your specific question. If you do resolve it can you add to the end of the thread in case other members need to know too! Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel10 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Thanks Rebecca, I have submitted an online form. Although Im sure someone on here must know, Im sure not everyone is salaried????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel10 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 I found out the answer. You can't make voluntary contributions if you are employed but can ring at the end of the year to ensure you have a complete years contributions for pension credits depending on how much you have earned. You can then pay the extra if needed. Unfortunately statutory benefits aren't covered as you need to have earnt over £112 for the past 8 weeks to qualify and obviously working term time only would never work that many without a half term / holiday.
