You can miss a maximum of 12 payments during your whole savings period BUT, you have to make these up at the end of your savings period, month for month, before you can exercise your Sharesave option.
To suspend your Sharesave plan(s), please log into your shares portal account using the Login button at the top of this page. Once you are logged into your account click on the Portfolio tab, then SAYE then select the Manage SAYE contracts link. If you suspend your contributions up to the 5th of the month then no further deductions will be taken from that same months salary. i.e. suspend on 4th January deductions will be suspended from January salary, suspend on 6th January deductions will be suspended from February salary.
If you miss more than 12 payments, then your Sharesave plan will be cancelled and your savings and any interest will be returned to you. You will not be entitled to buy any shares.
It is your responsibility to restart your contributions on your shares portal account prior to more than 12 payments being missed.
