Extending the leaving date on ESR due to annual leave

When an employee is leaving or if they die in service with outstanding annual leave to be paid, this is classed as pensionable service. The pension leaving date should reflect the date that the annual leave is paid up to. 

In ESR this should be recorded by using the Override Pen End Date field in the Pension NHS Element. This will ensure that the date will be submitted via the IAT process and will enable the system to add the correct date to the Override Pen Start Date field on the employee’s record in the new organisation, preventing overlapping service errors.
