Auto-Enrolment Penalties

The Facts

Auto-Enrolment Penalties are on the rise! The Pensions Regulator (TPR) published their statistics for the 1st quarter of 2016 and I have to say WOW! 806 fixed penalties have been issued in the 1st 3 months of 2016, compared with 1,250 issued in the whole of 2015.

So do you know your obligations or do you even know where to start?

Tips

You have 5 months from your auto-enrolment start date (known as the staging date) in which to send a “declaration of compliance” to TPR confirming that you’ve met all your auto-enrolment obligations. If you don’t, you’ll be sent a compliance notice. Even if you receive one there’s time to rescue the situation and avoid a penalty.
