Workplace Pensions
Workplace Pensions automatic enrolment has been around for a while now and most business owners will be aware of its existence, if not completely familiar with the requirements the Government is placing on them or indeed the draconian penalties for non-compliance.
With most large employers having already “staged”, the staging dates for smaller companies are now here. Between 2015 and 2017, over 1 million companies will be staging, which is a staggering 51,134 companies per month.
Do not leave this until the last minute, or think “it doesn’t affect me” because anyone with a PAYE reference MUST comply and there are serious fines for non-compliance.
Please read our 21 Point Checklist to help guide you through the process. If you would like some assistance we have a fully compliant AE payroll system designed to take the headache out of your employer duties- call Barry Sims on 01237 472332 to arrange a no obligation meeting or simply chat through any questions you may have.
