“You see I’ve heard countless times about the fines and the rules Chris” said this lady I found myself chatting to last week “What I need to know now is the practical steps I need to take in order to comply”

It’s not an unusual request. There is plenty of chat about automatic enrolment much of which involves the fines associated with getting it wrong, what some of the rules are and what complications need to be considered when complying with automatic enrolment.

However a decent number of employers want the same thing as the lady I spoke to last week…

They’ve heard enough about why they need to take action…now they just want to get on with the tasks at hand.

Of course there are a number of ways an employer can do this…

Some employers go through the process directly with some support on the payroll element from their accountant or payroll provider and guidance directly from the regulator.

Some employers prefer more bespoke support and are happy to pay consultancy fees to get this done (something we’re constantly involved with at the minute)

and

Other employers want practical guidance on the jobs which need to be done in a systematic step by step way.

Now for employers who want to go alone with the pensions and regulatory element and with payroll support from their accountant or payroll provider we’re not in a position to help.

However for every other employer we’ve got a solution which works.

For the employers who want consultancy services we can absolutely help with that and provide a service designed to be entirely bespoke to meet an employers needs.

and

For employers who need support to ensure they ‘get the job done’ both in terms of regulation and pension selection and want clarity on the tasks they need to do to comply there’s AE in a Box…
