Pension Auto Enrolment

What is Pension Auto Enrolment?

Pension Auto Enrolment is registration with pension scheme as effect of pension reform (the Pension Act 2008) which obliges employees and employers to save money for additional pension.

Does every company need to be registered with the new system?

Yes, if your company has an active PAYE system for employees paid a regular salary.

When a company must be registered with the new system?

When a company receives a letter from the ‘the Pensions Regulator’ with ‘staging date’ notification, it starts an obligation process to register its employees with a new pension scheme should they not already have one in place. This date cannot be changed.
If the company did not receive such a letter, it is still their duty to check when their ‘staging date’ will be.
If you are employing staff for the first time from 1 October 2017, your automatic enrolment duties began on the day your first member of staff starts work.
Registration must be completed only once and a ‘Declaration of Compliance’ filed with the pensions regulator in the specified time scale.
The automatic enrolment procedure must be reviewed every 3 years.

Are any penalties for late registration?

Penalty is for late registration or for lack of registration – £400 and depends of numbers of employees and can be charge £50 daily.
