Assumed Pensionable Pay is required by some employers to calculate employer pension contributions when an employee is receiving a reduced salary but the employer is not reducing their pension contribution.

If required, you need to enter this amount; payroll will not calculate it for you.

Assumed pensionable could also be referred to as “whole time equivalent” by the pension provider. 

Essentially this means if an employee’s “normal” salary is reduced (E.G. due to sick leave) they will make their pension contribution on their actual (lowered) pay while the employer still makes contributions based on what they would normally be paid.
