# April 2026: Pension Output Payment Due Date: additional options

The Pension Output Payment Due Date based on field in Employer Setup has been updated.

### What's new?

The field in Employer Setup previously offered two options (**Paydate** and **Pay Reference Period End** Date), and this has been expanded to four:

- Pay Period End Date
- Paydate
- Pay Reference Period End Date
- Custom Period End Date

### Why have we implemented this?

This change lets you correctly match the payment due date on your pension output file to what your pension provider expects, without having to manually edit the exported CSV file before uploading.

### What next?

Review the setting for each of your payrolls and select the option that matches the payment due date format required by your pension provider.
