Easier-Than-Ever Automatic Enrolment!

Automatic enrolment is something that many UK businesses end up fretting over, but that really needn’t be the case, especially when you utilise the services of The Payroll Group, which will handle all of your workplace pensions administration.   With pension laws having changed in recent years, it’s easy to become bogged down in bureaucracy, and keeping track of auto-enrolment can be a nightmare. Here at The Payroll Group, however, we can help! 



About Automatic Enrolment

A qualifying pension scheme must be selected well in advance of your auto-enrolment date. Your employees are then assessed into two categories, by age and earnings, to establish who should be automatically enrolled. The assessments will be made by us using up to date specialist payroll software design to deal with this. You will have different obligations for each category of employee, but all must be informed of their automatic enrolment options, in writing, at key stages in the process. You must make arrangements so that the worker becomes an active member of your qualifying scheme with effect from their auto-enrolment date.  Pension deductions are taken from the employees’ pay and paid to the pension provider, together with contributions from you, the employer. 



Unfortunately, it does not stop there……..  Once you’ve passed your staging date new employees must be auto-enrolled.  Existing employees who did not qualify at staging due to age and earnings will need to be assessed at each pay period to see if they should be auto-enrolled at that point, and you’ll need to go through the whole process again in 3 years’ time to re-enrol anyone who has opted out… 



 The Pensions Regulator acknowledges that auto-enrolment represents a massive cultural change in the UK, with the aim of improving the standard of living of all those in retirement.  This is a long term ambition in which providing a pension for employees becomes simply a part of being an employer in the UK.  “We can offer you help and support every step of the way” This will include:  Linking the pension scheme to our payroll system Initial assessment of your workforce Enrolling the employees into the pension scheme Providing you with the initial letters for your employees advising them of their rights Providing an compliant payroll and uploading data to the pension provider on a regular basis Carry out on-going assessments of employee’s eligibility, dealing with opt out information and pension refunds if applicable Communicating with The Pension Regulator and retaining compliance records
