Workplace Pensions – your responsibilities as an employer

The government has introduced rules to ensure that all employees have access to workplace pensions to save for their retirement. The process of signing your employees up to your company’s pension scheme is called Auto Enrolment.

The rules apply whether a company has one employee or 1000. As well as providing access to a scheme, the employer is also obliged to make regular contributions into their employees’ pensions each pay period.

Here are some of the key questions you will need to think about.

Who will provide my pension scheme?

It is your responsibility as an employer to put an appropriate scheme in place. We can help by reviewing your workforce, looking at your options and making recommendations for a suitable workplace pensions provider.

How do I enrol my employees and manage contributions?

Enrolling workers and managing the payment of contributions will require quite a lot of work. We can help with the enrolment process in addition to any ongoing payroll services we currently provide to you, including:• assessing which workers need to be enrolled into the pension scheme • calculating employee and employer pension contributions • preparing payment schedules for the workplace pensions provider.

What else must I do to be compliant?

Firstly, there are the inevitable forms to complete and records that you must keep to comply with Auto Enrolment rules. We can help with the necessary paperwork to complete your registration with The Pensions Regulator and will work with you to ensure you have the correct records. It is worth noting that there are penalties for non-compliance.

What else do I need to do?

There are certain communications that you, as an employer, must send to your worker and precise dates by which you must supply the information to your workers.

How much is auto enrolment going to cost?

The costs will be individual to your business, please contact your RfM advisor for an illustration.
