Automatic enrolment: Business as usual, just like real-time PAYE 12 May 2016

Automatic enrolment is a continuing responsibility for employers. An employer's duties do not end after their staging date.

Employers will need to:

 pay regular contributions into the pension scheme  monitor the age and earnings of their staff and enrol any eligible staff  process any requests to join or leave the scheme  keep and maintain accurate records  re-enrol eligible staff every three years into an automatic enrolment pension scheme if they’re not already active members of one.

All of this should become 'business as usual', just like real-time PAYE.

The Pensions Regulator has all the information and guidance to help you understand your clients’ ongoing duties

The Pensions Regulator also produces a free, monthly e-newsletter with useful information about automatic enrolment. April’s newsletter featured stories on the recent changes to earnings thresholds, re-enrolment, and how to complete a declaration of compliance. There’s also a regular feature which focuses on ‘Hot Topics’ that their contact centre is taking calls about.
