Our Auto-Enrolment Pension Services Help You Steamline Your Administrative Tasks
Auto-enrolment is a mandatory process for all UK employers, designed to ensure that all eligible workers have access to a workplace pension scheme. At HWB Accountants, we understand the complexities and challenges that come with this process, which is why we offer a range of services to help businesses navigate it with ease.
Setting up a Business: What to Do for Automatic Enrolment
As a business owner, it is important to understand your responsibilities when it comes to automatic enrolment. This process ensures that all eligible employees are enrolled in a qualifying workplace pension scheme and that their contributions are deducted from their pay.
The first step in the process of automatic enrolment is determining your staging date. This is the date by which your business is legally required to have a workplace pension scheme in place and to begin making contributions. The staging date is determined by the size of your business, with smaller businesses having later staging dates.
Once you have determined your staging date, the next step is to assess your workforce to determine which employees are eligible for automatic enrolment. This includes employees who are aged between 22 and state pension age, and who earn above a certain threshold. It is important to note that agency workers and non-UK nationals may also be eligible.
Once you have assessed your workforce, the next step is to choose a pension scheme that meets the requirements for automatic enrolment. This includes registering the scheme with The Pensions Regulator and providing certain information, such as the scheme’s trust deed and rules.
It is important to communicate the details of the pension scheme to your employees, including how much they will be contributing and how their contributions will be invested. You must also provide them with certain information, such as a summary of the scheme’s benefits and a opt-out notice.
Once you have chosen a pension scheme and communicated the details to your employees, the next step is to implement the scheme. This includes enrolling eligible employees, deducting contributions from their pay, and providing certain information to The Pensions Regulator.
As a business owner, you have ongoing duties when it comes to automatic enrolment. This includes assessing your workforce on a regular basis, re-enrolling certain employees, and providing certain information to The Pensions Regulator.
