Auto Enrolment
“Arranging our Workplace Pension was so straightforward. Pennine Accounting took care of everything from start to finish”
“Auto enrolment was something neither I or my employees understood – that is until Pennine Accounting came to our offices and gave a short presentation to us, followed by a question and answer session. They even updated our employee contact details for us there and then so that payslips and correspondence could go directly to employees by email”
“I’d had a preference for doing my own payroll for years. When my staging date came near, I decided to pass everything over to Pennine Accounting. Now I wonder why I hadn’t done this ages ago. Payroll is now so easy for me. I just provide the hours and everything else is taken care of by them. Brilliant!”
“Unfortunately, we left everything until the last minute. However, Pennine Accounting to the rescue again! They are really helpful, and after a brief discussion, they quickly had everything in place and in no time at all our pension payments were included on our payroll”
As an existing or prospective employer you’ll want to ensure that you receive good advice and guidance when considering auto enrolment of your workers
At Pennine Accounting, we have the experience and expertise to help you choose a suitable pension provider. We have experience with schemes placed by our clients with Standard Life, Peoples Pension, Legal & General, NEST, Smart, and many others.
We will provide you with the features of each of the most popular schemes so that you can compare the flexibility, options, and costs. Of course, you are also free to choose any other scheme and we will be pleased to review this and help you assess its suitability. Should you require specific investment advice, or wish to explore transferring or merging any existing pension schemes then we will happily work alongside a suitably qualified financial adviser.
Setting up a scheme is straightforward
Setting up a scheme is straightforward and once the scheme is in place we will ensure that you and your employees are kept fully informed of progress. Whether you commence immediately on or after your staging date, or decide to postpone commencement for a short time, your employees will receive all the correspondence required, ensuring that as an employer you meet your auto enrolment duties.
From the beginning of your workplace pension scheme, we will assess all your workers to make sure all those eligible join the scheme, and will calculate the required pension employee deductions and the employer payments so that the amounts are included in your payroll and listed on the employees’ payslips.
We will review your scheme each year and keep you informed
Each year your scheme will be reviewed, and you will be kept informed of any forthcoming changes, such as the annual increments taking place over the coming years.
We provide a range of premium payroll services
We are also able to provide a range of premium payroll services, with simple, and transparent pricing. We will be pleased to discuss our services options with you on request. It is recommended that you start your plans for auto enrolment six months ahead of your staging date. The date is obtainable using your PAYE reference from The Pensions Regulator website. However, even if you’re behind schedule with your planning, or you’re a new business setting up your first payroll scheme, we will be very pleased to help get your business up to speed.
