Last Thursday we had a party. The party was to celebrate a couple of things. First AE in a Box, whilst being ‘in development’ for a couple of years prior to launch, has been out, active and live in the marketplace for one whole year. We’ve made some decent progress in the last year with both hundreds of […]
Today is an exciting today. You see today is the day we launch our book (at an event in London, tickets are still available here) It’s likely if you follow me on twitter (you can find me @ChrisDaems) or on Linkedin or you’re an AE in a Box partner or introducer we might have mentioned […]
One of the things that employer and partner users tell us is one of the most useful features of AE in a Box is it’s ability to track and retain an audit trail. This allows employer users to efficiently track at every stage of the automatic enrolment process what tasks are being completed, by who […]
I spent all of yesterday (I’m writing this on the 13th November 2015) at Payroll World’s client payroll conference. It’s my 2nd year here speaking on a panel and the reason I attend is as we move increasingly closer to the period of time when tens of thousands of employers need to comply each and […]
Payroll is the lifeblood of any employer. However for most businesses it’s something they don’t think about much. Employees get paid, the processes get run and the majority of employers just crack on with the day to day of their business…..and like you don’t think about how blood flows unconsciously through our body most of us don’t consciously think […]
As the launch of my Book quickly approaches (just over 2 weeks to go – details here) I’m finding myself having loads of chats with a bunch of different people about it. I was having a chat with someone today who as an employee of a large non financial related business is already in a scheme and therefore knows […]
It seems like yesterday… The first time I saw the Delorean. Marty McFly on his skateboard. Doc Brown visiting the past, present and what felt like at the time like a distant future. However the distant future portrayed in Back to the future has now arrived. The date that Marty McFly and Doc Brown visit […]
Today (as I write this on the 21st of November) there’s a new campaign starting highlighting the fact to employers that automatic enrolment, putting in place a workplace pensions and meeting their regulatory obligations is a law they shouldn’t ignore. Involving a friendly looking fluffy monster the full video of the advert can be seen […]
The twentieth of October (the day I’m writing this particular article) isn’t a date which is particularly memorable. It’s a date which when in comes to being memorable pales in comparison to, I dunno, Bonfire night (we all remember remember the 5th November!) or New years eve! Now every day of the year if you […]
Over the day or so I’ve had a little pain in my neck. The pain, which is better now than it was yesterday after I followed the advice on the NHS choices website and took some painkillers, did some neck exercises and slept on a low firm pillow (All those things are good for neck […]
