Is he not already contributing to an employer pension? Or is he maybe self employed?

He contributes to a workplace pension but has a small private pension also. 
Thank you so much everyone for your help. 

If he also contributes to a workplace pension and it's a DC (defined contribution) pension, he might have the option to directly contribute the extra that you want to do into his workplace pension - he could check this with the employer**.  If so, this might result in the entire money going into the pension pot so for an 8000 net loss on his pay packet he would get an extra £13333 in the pension directly.  This is assuming he has sufficient income to do this and it might have to be spread over multiple months - for example by temporarily increasing the % that he pays.

**I think you might have missed out the words 'by salary sacrifice'

And I read the OP as meaning this tax year not next.

In which case Mar payroll probably already paid - and if not - the data gathering (e.g. overtime etc) run to calculate already completed.
