What is an ECON?
ECON stands for Employer's Contracting-Out Number. It is an optional 9 character serial number. You will have an ECON if your company has an occupational pension scheme that is contracted out of the State Second Pension. It is determined by HMRC NIC office or the Occupational Pensions Board.
Most employers do not have an ECON and should leave this field blank.
