The Pensions Regulator has launched new online content giving guidance to larger employers on their re-enrolment duties.

An introductory page provides an initial overview of the steps, along with timings of when employers should aim to complete these steps. The overview page also includes ‘The essential guide to re-enrolment and re-declaration’, which is available to download and provides employers with a cut down version of the online content if they require a quick reference guide.

The new online content is composed of 4 main steps:

1. Choose your re-enrolment date 2. Assess your staff 3. Write to staff that you have re-enrolled 4. Complete your re-declaration of compliance

TPR are also actively encouraging employers to keep them up to date with their contact details.
