Pension Auto Enrolment

Auto enrolment is the latest attempt by Government to reinvigorate pension saving in this country. As a company director or business owner, it is your obligation to enrol eligible jobholders in a workplace pension scheme unless they are already a member of a Qualifying Scheme. But don’t worry – We will deal with everything so you don’t have to!

You will ultimately be required to contribute a minimum of 3% of qualifying earnings between £5,772 and £41,865 and your employee will have to contribute 4%, which, together with tax relief of 1%, will make a total of 8%. These amounts are being phased in over the next few years.

All employers now have a ‘Staging Date’ assigned to them, which is the date by when you need your scheme in place or you can face daily penalties of potentially £500 per day. To obtain your staging date please input your PAYE reference number here:

We can help you understand the issues and requirements of workplace pensions and offer guidance to ensure your business complies with the new rules in the most cost effective way.
