Auto Enrolment

Auto Enrolment has started and affects every employer in the UK. Apart from the financial implications the ongoing compliance requirements are onerous. This means that every business will have to devote time and resource whether they want to or not. The estimated additional costs from an administration perspective only were originally estimated at around £60 per employee per annum but having looked at the requirements the suggestion is that it could now be as much as two to three times this or even more!

Fortunately help is at hand and we are able to access full auto enrolment and compliance systems for you on a cost effective basis.

Please see below a range of articles and information we have collated from various sources to help you understand and keep up to date with what is happening. This is only a small portion of the available information but will give you an idea of what needs to be done.
