AUTO ENROLMENT SERVICES

Employers must make arrangements to ensure that all eligible employees become active members of an automatic enrolment pension scheme from their automatic enrolment date.

AUTOMATIC ENROLMENT MAKES IT COMPULSORY FOR EMPLOYERS TO OFFER ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES A WORKPLACE PENSION

Under the Pensions Act 2008, all employers must offer a workplace pension scheme and automatically enrol eligible employees and also make contributions into it themselves. This is a compulsory requirement for all employers.

Your business will be issued with a staging date, which is the date by which you must start contributing to your employees’ pensions. Many business owners overlook the amount of work and preparation that is needed BEFORE their staging date arrives!

  • Do you know  your staging date? Click here for more information
  • Do you know compliance with the Pensions Regulator is as important as compliance with HMRC?
  • Auto enrolment fines have increased over the past few years.  Auto enrolment compliance notices are published on a quarterly basis for the following reasons:
    • Employer was non-compliant and subject to further action
    • Unpaid EPNs subject to a Court Order
    • Chair’s statement fines – failing to produce
    • Chair’s statement fines – not compliant
    • Scheme return fine – failing to submit on time
  • The Regulator may impose fines ranging from a £400 fixed penalty to a varying daily escalating penalty from £50 to £10,000 if you don’t comply with your legal duties for automatic enrolment.

DON'T GET CAUGHT OUT!
