Employee enrolment
Remove an employee from their pension
The single removal surface. optOutDate (or today) becomes the membership end date. processRefund=true refunds every settled member contribution from enrolment to that date on the next payslip, and is REFUSED when that date falls outside the statutory opt-out period unless refundOutsideOptOutPeriodReason says why. Use GET /employee-pension//refund-preview first to show the operator what would be refunded. Returns the membership end reason and the refunded amounts per period.

}Path Parameters
Query Parameters
The date the member left the scheme. Defaults to today. Supplying it asserts an opt-out, so the ending is recorded as OptOut unless reason says otherwise. Must not be earlier than the employee's enrolment date.
The employer's decision to refund the member's contributions through payroll: every settled member contribution from enrolment to the opt-out date, on the next payslip. Defaults to false. Whether the opt-out is inside the statutory opt-out period is the employer's assessment (The Pensions Regulator's detailed guidance 7); the employer holds the notice and the evidence.
Why the membership ended, as the employer asserts it: OptOut, MembershipCeased or AdministrativeRemoval. Defaults to OptOut when an optOutDate is supplied or processRefund=true, and to AdministrativeRemoval for a bare removal with neither. Only OptOut and MembershipCeased suppress re-enrolment until the scheme's next 3-yearly cyclical re-enrolment date.
Available options:
OptOut, MembershipCeased, AdministrativeRemoval Why a refund is being made even though the membership ended OUTSIDE the statutory opt-out period. Required in that case and rejected in any other. Outside the period a defined-contribution scheme owes no refund (The Pensions Regulator's detailed guidance 7, paras 25 and 55-57); the employer may still choose to pay one, and this records that it was a deliberate decision and who made it. Call GET /employee-pension/{employeeId}/refund-preview to find out whether the date is inside the period.
Response
OK
The response envelope every FlowPayroll API answers with: a message, the
content, and any validationIssues. errors and the top-level
metadata are deprecated copies of validationIssues and
content.metadata, and will be removed.
What happened, as English text and a stable token to translate from.
textId and textParameters are deprecated copies of token and tokenArguments.
