Contract Amend • To update or amend a contract, you select the ‘Contract Amend’ option • When a contract has been amended the changes are authorised by a Commissioner user. • Associated paperwork must be received by the Commissioner with 7 days • A daily email notification message will be sent to all users with authorisation as part of their role to notify them of contracts submitted for authorisation.

Adding a performer to a contract If you do not know the performer number you can use the magnifying glass to look up
Performer NPE/NPEE • When entering performer earnings on a contract there are two options: • Pension Scheme Members - Net Pensionable Earnings – NPE • Non Pension Scheme Members - Net Pensionable Earnings Equivalent – NPEE • The value entered should be the performer net earnings for the time they are on the contract in a financial year. • The total of the NPE/NPEE cannot exceed 43.9% of the Total Contract Value • You do not need to enter values for future years unless they are going to change. • At the end of the year the NPE/NPEE values will roll over to the next year unless a different value has been entered. (these will be pro-rated if appropriate). • After the ARR process the values will be refreshed with the declared earnings again pro-rated where appropriate.
Performer NPE/NPEE • Employment Type - The type of employment has a bearing on whether the performer earnings are superannuable or not. • If Self Employed or Salaried is selected then NPE is entered and this will be superannuable as long as the performer is a member of the Pension Scheme. • If Agency, Incorporated or Sub Contractor is selected then NPEE is entered this is non superannuable even if the performer is a member of the Pension Scheme.
All Performers are automatically entered into the NHS Pension Scheme (NHSPS) when they are entered onto the performer list and will therefore be superannuable unless they opt out. If a Provider/Performer is in the NHS Pension Scheme they must have Net Pensionable Earnings (NPE) recorded on each contract that they work on. It is illegal for a NHS dentist to credit themselves, for NHS pension purposes, with NHS income from another colleague even if that colleague has opted out of the NHSPS Performer NPE/NPEE
