As an employer of a UK business, under current pensions law, you are now required to assist your workers in saving for retirement by automatically enrolling them into a pension scheme.
You have a duty to keep your workers informed of their rights in respect of auto-enrolment, staging dates, postponement provisions and the options available to them following assessment. This adds a huge administrative burden on your business, and can be particularly demanding for a small Company.
IRS offers an Auto-Enrolment Management Service to reduce the administrative burden on your business.
Your duties under the current pension rules are to:
Assessments to determine the status of a worker, where they are not already enrolled, are normally carried out at the same time as when your payroll is processed to save duplication of administration.
For that reason, we carry out the assessment as standard, irrespective of whether you have opted for our Managed or Connect Payroll Service. That way you can be assured that your duties to enrol eligible workers and work out the contributions that must be paid into their pension fund is taken care of.

Having a pension scheme to automatically enrol your workers and making payments into their pension fund is only part of the responsibilities placed on a UK business.
Aside from the assessment to determine eligibility, there is also a requirement to re-enrol a worker who previously had opted out of the pension scheme, as well as re-registering as an employer with The Pensions Regulator. And, it's not just new employees that you have to communicate with about pensions and auto-enrolment. If you have staff who are not in a qualifying company pension scheme, which could be for a number of reasons, you will need to continually assess their status and keep them informed of their rights and entitlements in relation to automatic enrolment.
We will prepare the relevant letters for your staff, that can be tailored to your requirements as far as the legal provisions permit - they can even include your own Company logo.
