FAQs
Does automatic enrolment apply to my business?
If you employ staff, you will generally have automatic enrolment duties. The exact requirements depend on your employees' ages, earnings and circumstances. We can help you understand which duties apply to your business and when you need to act.
How much does an employer have to contribute to a workplace pension?
For eligible staff, the minimum contribution requirements apply to qualifying earnings. The rules can depend on the pension scheme and the employee's circumstances, so we can help you understand how the requirements apply to your payroll.
What are my responsibilities as an employer for auto enrolment?
Employers need to assess their workforce, enrol eligible staff, make the required pension contributions, provide the necessary information to employees and keep appropriate records. These responsibilities continue after the initial setup, including monitoring employees and dealing with re-enrolment requirements.
Do I still have auto enrolment responsibilities if my employees opt out?
Yes. An employee opting out does not necessarily mean your responsibilities have ended. You still need to meet your ongoing employer duties and may need to automatically re-enrol eligible staff at the appropriate time.
What happens if I don't comply with auto enrolment requirements?
Employers have legal duties under automatic enrolment legislation. Failing to meet those duties can result in enforcement action and financial penalties, so it is important to understand your responsibilities and keep up with ongoing requirements.
Can you help me set up auto enrolment for the first time?
Yes. We can help you understand your responsibilities, identify eligible employees, set up a workplace pension scheme and organise the processes needed to manage automatic enrolment alongside your payroll.
Do I have ongoing auto enrolment duties after setting up a pension scheme?
Yes. Automatic enrolment is an ongoing employer responsibility. You need to continue monitoring staff, assessing changes in age and earnings, managing join and opt-out requests, paying contributions and keeping records. Re-enrolment and re-declaration requirements also apply.
