Postponement gives you the flexibility to align the administration of your duties to your existing business and payroll processes. Postponement is optional and is described as ‘postponement of auto enrolment’ or is sometimes referred to as a ‘waiting period’.
If you have decided to postpone auto enrolment for any of your staff, you must write to these staff to tell them. Staff have a right to opt in to your workplace pension during the postponement period.
More information about postponement, including a template, is available on the Pensions Regulator website.
