What is Auto Enrolment and how can we help?

Pension Auto Enrolment is a program initiated by the UK government. This mandates business owners in the UK, who have employees, to put their qualified workers into a workplace pension scheme. In line with this, the employer needs to pay the contribution on behalf of the workers. Auto Enrolment is based on a clause included in the Pensions Act 2008 and was introduced in 2012.

The UK government introduced Pension Auto Enrolment because too few employees were putting their money into pension plans. The program was introduced so that more people will have something to rely on when they retire.

If you own a company with less than 30 employees, your duty to enrol your staff started from November 2015 to April 2017, based on your PAYE reference. Those clients with more than 250 workers had a staging date in October 2012. Since we are past these dates, pension Auto Enrolment is compulsory as soon as a new employee starts working, meaning, your duty starts on the first day of employment.

We can help you with every task related to Auto Enrolment. Our team of chartered accountants can assist you with the registration and enrolment.
