The CIPP along with IReeN - The electronic exchange with government user network have recently submitted a joint response to the Department for Work & Pensions Workplace Pensions: Proposed Technical Changes to Auto Enrolment. Following the recently announced proposed technical changes to auto enrolment regarding Workplace pensions, the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals has issued the following statement: “The Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals supports the proposals set out by the Department of Work and Pensions in respect to the simplification of automatic enrolment duties. “Whilst we were disappointed that these areas, which were raised some years ago, were not included in the original legislation we welcome the DWP’s drive for simplicity now. These new proposals will make it easier for employers to administer automatic enrolment whilst protecting the worker. A survey also undertaken by the CIPP shows further and overwhelming support from the payroll industry to introduce the changes as soon as possible. As long as payroll software providers, payroll representative bodies and middleware providers are consulted on implementation requirements.”
