Auto Enrolment
Most businesses will be impacted by Workplace Pension Legislation. If you are a business owner, you will have an added responsibility to comply with Workplace Pension Legislation, i.e. Auto Enrolment.
The Pensions Regulator will notify you at least 12 months before your staging date, and will also send you a reminder 3 months before. We recommend you commence planning for Automatic Enrolment around 18 months before you are set to stage.
This is because this is more than just simply setting up a pension scheme. It will impact on HR, Payroll, IT, Recruitment and every worker must be individually assessed – making the process very time-consuming. If you miss your staging date and you haven’t applied postponement, your business and you could face fines and/or penalties.
Our team is experienced in this area and can not only assist you to understand your responsibility and set up but also run and maintain Auto Enrolment processing and compliance for your business.
If your staging date is approaching or your business is currently non-compliant in this area, please call our friendly team to discuss this immediately.
