Are you an Aylesbury start-up, curious on the liability and commitment level you have when considering employee pensions? This is where auto-enrolment comes into play, set as a mandatory Government scheme, which all employers must adhere to.
Whether you have 1 employee, or thousands, it is a legal obligation of yours as an employer to auto-enrol eligible employees into a Qualifying Workplace Pension Scheme, along with making ongoing minimum contributions.
Find out more about auto-enrolment in Aylesbury and how we can help you here at The Financial Management Centre.
WHAT IS AUTO-ENROLMENT?
In short, auto-enrolment is a legal obligation of all employers to help their employees save for later in life. With this Government driven scheme set in place, a Qualifying Workplace Pension Scheme has been created, where auto-enrolment must take place.
For eligible jobholders, employers must comply with the new pension regulations, by ensuring that auto-enrolment is completed, along with maintaining monthly contributions.
It is also important to ensure that non-eligible jobholders and entitled workers understand this new scheme, and how they can enrol; although contributions will not be received.
Auto-enrolment and ongoing pension contributions is an obligation and commitment of all employers. By opting for employees, it is your duty of care to maintain this service and forecast for it within your annual finances. Failing to comply will result in a hefty charge and civil penalties.

STEPS TO TAKE WHEN COMPLETING THE AUTO-ENROLMENT PROCESS
When completing auto-enrolment, here are the steps you will need to take:
- Choose a suitable pension scheme
- Assess your current employees pay to gauge which category they fall into
- Write to all employees, communicating how auto-enrolment will affect them and the next steps. It is vital that the right information is sent to each category of employees.
- Ensure that contributions are paid consistently to those employees within auto-enrolment
- Complete a declaration of compliance to support your legal duties
- Keep records of all communication and processes related to auto-enrolment.
As this can be an extensive list to complete, especially when managing all further areas of business, here at The Financial Management Centre, we promote auto-enrolment support for Aylesbury companies.
