Having scrutinised my pension a bit more, I’ve noticed that my contribution from my salary is invested a month later, so as I get paid on about the 28th of the month, whatever I contribute doesn’t hit the pension until roughly the 25th of the following month. Sneaky, eh…?

Member contributions deducted from pay must be paid into the pension no later than the 22nd day after the deduction. Sounds like your employer is running the risk of a fine from the Pensions regulator. My former employer's payroll people weren't actually aware of this, and a few polite emails from employees pointing out that they were routinely breaking the law got it fixed very quickly.
