pension auto enrolment
What is automatic enrolment?
Under the Pensions Act 2008, every employer in the UK must put certain staff into a workplace pension and pay into it. This is called 'automatic enrolment'.
Whether you only employ one person, a personal assistant, nanny etc, you have a legal duty.
What do you need to do?
All Employers must complete an online declaration to advise the Pension Regulator what you have done to comply.
Ongoing duties
Each time an employee is paid you need to monitor their age and earnings to check whether they need to be in a pension scheme and work out the contributions that need to be deducted and paid to your chosen pension provider.
The employees also require letters to advise them of their rights.
Re-enrolment
Every three years following your staging date any employees that have opted out will need to be re-enrolled if they fit the criteria.
Letters will then have to be sent to these employees and a re-enrolment declaration completed with the Pension Regulator
