You have probably seen the Government’s advertising campaign about “Auto Enrolment” into “Workplace Pension Schemes” and may be wondering whether it affects your business.

If you employ workers under a PAYE scheme then the answer is “YES”.

If your business qualifies as a small business it is unlikely you will need to automatically enrol anyone into the scheme before 1 January 2016.

All you need to do at this stage is check your “Staging Date”. To do this, simply follow the link below.

Your staging date is when your automatic enrolment duties come into force and is based on the total number of people in your PAYE scheme.

As it gets nearer to the staging date, we would be happy to assist you through the process and let you know what you will need to do next.

In the meantime, if you have any queries, please in touch with either Tamara or Rebecca.
