About the role
A pensions administrator keeps member records accurate, reconciles employer contributions and supports benefit and transfer processing. The panel is testing your control of detail, your ability to resolve mismatches and your judgement when service requests involve sensitive personal and financial information.
How to prepare
- Revise the flow from employer schedule and payment through allocation to a member record.
- Practise reconciling a schedule with missing references, duplicate entries and an unmatched total.
- Prepare an example of correcting a long-running data or account problem.
- Review the maker and checker controls you use before benefits, transfers or record changes.
- Check the relevant official body for current pension rules and base any regulatory answer on current guidance.
Common mistakes
- Allocating an unmatched payment before the schedule and references have been verified.
- Changing member data without clear authority, evidence and an audit trail.
- Using technical pension language without explaining the next action to the member.
- Giving a definite regulatory answer from memory instead of checking current official guidance.
