A new step-by-step guide to help small businesses get ready for their automatic enrolment duties has been launched by the Pensions Regulator. The online guide has been written specifically for employers with between 1 and 50 staff, and explains how to complete key tasks such as; knowing when to be ready, providing a point of contact for the regulator, checking who needs to be enrolled and creating a plan of action.
New research published by the Pensions Regulator shows that while levels of awareness of auto enrolment remain high amongst all employers, more than 20% of those due to stage between June and November this year had not yet drawn up plans to meet their dates. The regulator has warned those small and micro employers that they must start preparing for the enrolment duties.
