BES (Turkish private pension) auto enrolment: from enrolment to deduction, including the opt-out period.
BES auto enrolment software: bulk enrolment, BES plan per employer, opt-out and pause lists, opt-out period and the BES deduction from the SGK base.
Bulk pension enrollment
Everyone who has an employment relationship on the start date and no profile is enrolled in a single operation if eligible. Reasons such as a request from an employee aged 45 or over, no date of birth, no insurance profile or a locked period come back person by person; the start is given with a second approval.
Defining the BES plan: per employer, separate plan for subcontractors
The plan is tied to the legal employer, and a subcontractor gets a separate plan. The pay day and month are mandatory; an employer has only one valid plan at a time, and the plan is edited or ended with a last valid day.
BES notification upload: OKS opt-out, pause and continuation list
The list from the BES (private pension) company is uploaded with Pulsar's Excel template, previewed and applied; the period record becomes COMPLETE (TAMAM) or INCOMPLETE (EKSİK). Turkish ID numbers are not stored from the list.
Opt-out tracking: the BES opt-out period
The profile shows the latest end of the opt-out period and the days remaining. The period is calculated from the pay day and the transfer and notification business days; business days are counted from the public holiday table.
How much pension contribution is deducted: BES on the SGK base
After the pay calculation, the deduction is calculated as the current month's earnings subject to premiums (SGK base) × the signed package rate. No deduction is taken from someone who opts out within the month; it is taken in the month of exit, and the employer and plan are visible in the Periodic Deduction (Dönemsel Kesinti) grid.
BES opening transfer: actual enrolment status when switching to the software
For a company that moves to the software later, active, opted-out and paused status, the first enrollment date and the contract number are taken from the company list. The opt-out period is calculated from the actual first enrollment date.
Check, undo enrolment and automatic BES on termination
In payroll calculation, people with an incomplete record or unclear eligibility and locations awaiting notification are stopped. An enrollment opened by mistake is cancelled without being deleted; at exit, an open profile is ended from the day after the exit.
BES participant list and statutory deduction on the payslip
The participant list is filtered and paginated on the server; the bottom bar shows status counts and a warning for employers without a plan, and the list is exported to Excel and PDF. The BES (private pension) deduction is printed on the payslip as a statutory deduction.
Frequently asked questions
What is automatic BES enrolment?
The auto-enrollment system means employees are automatically enrolled in a private pension plan through their employer (Law No. 4632 on the Private Pension Savings and Investment System, Additional Article 2). Pulsar HRM manages the enrollment profile, the employer plan and the periodic deduction.
How is the BES deduction calculated?
After the pay calculation, Pulsar HRM calculates the BES (private pension) deduction as the current month's earnings subject to premiums (SGK base) × the rate in the signed package.
Is the BES deduction taken from net pay?
No. In Pulsar HRM, the BES (private pension) deduction is calculated not from net pay but from the current month's SGK base.
How does the BES deduction show in payroll?
The deduction is written to the finalization record and printed on a separate line of the payslip as a statutory deduction; the amount is not entered by hand.
How is the BES opt-out period calculated?
Pulsar HRM calculates the latest end of the opt-out period from the pay day and the transfer and notification business days, counting business days from the public holiday table. The days remaining are shown on the profile.
How are BES opt-outs and pauses processed?
The BES (private pension) company's notification list (opt-out, pause, continue) is uploaded with Pulsar's Excel template, previewed and applied. No deduction is taken from an employee who opts out within the month.
Are employees over 45 auto-enrolled in BES?
In bulk auto-enrollment, employees aged 45 or over are not enrolled automatically; they can join the plan on request and come back separately in the person list with the reason 'request'.
How are subcontractor employees enrolled in BES?
The BES (private pension) plan is tied to the legal employer; subcontractor employees are tracked under the subcontractor's separate plan.
What happens to BES on termination?
An open profile is ended from the day after the exit and does not block the exit; the deduction is taken in the month of exit.
