Auto Enrolment Services

All UK businesses are now legally required to operate an auto enrolment pension scheme for qualifying employees, comprising of employer and employee contributions. Such requirements bring significant additional financial implications and administration, meaning many employers may need assistance in administering compliance to reduce the overall impact on their business. If you have started your auto enrolment duties and are struggling with the additional burden, we offer fully compliant auto enrolment services to help support you and your business through successful implementation and ongoing compliance.

Alleviate your administrative burden

The execution of auto enrolment involves additional business costs, in the form of pension contributions, as well as demands on resources and time needed to complete ongoing compliance work.

In addition to the increased obligation on payroll, as part of adopting auto enrolment, you will also need to review your contracts of employment and the employee handbook. By trusting in our auto enrolment services we can help to minimise disruptions and alleviate the administrative burden, as well as seeking to reduce the financial impact on your profitability wherever possible.

How does Auto Enrolment work?

Any worker earning over £833 per month or £192 per week and aged between 22 and state pension age must be automatically enrolled by their employer into a pension plan. A worker earning below the lower threshold is also entitled to join the scheme, but you can choose whether to contribute to the pension scheme.

By using our auto enrolment service, you can avoid the complex process of automatic enrolment preparation and concentrate on what you do best – running and growing your business.
