You must declare your compliance with the Pensions Regulator within five months of your duties start date.
This declaration is mandatory and failure to complete it on time means that you will not have met all your duties, which could result in fines and/or prosecution.
Your auto enrolment duties don’t stop there. They should become part of your business as usual. You will need to monitor any changes in age and earnings of your staff so you can identify if they become eligible for auto enrolment. You must also check the eligibility of any new member of staff.
- Keeping records: You must keep up-to-date records about your staff, including who you have auto enrolled and when, information about your workplace pension, and the contributions you are paying.
- Re-enrolment: Every three years, you will need to re-enrol those staff who previously opted out back into your workplace pension, provided they are still eligible.
