Auto-enrolment is a new pension savings scheme for certain employees who are not paying into a pension. Kelly-Anne explained what obligations employers have now versus their obligations once the Auto-enrolment comes into effect. Some employers may find it benefits their employee’s more to have a private pension, but it is very important that all employee’s know what’s coming down the line.
For the moment, Kelly-Anne recommends that all employers should be researching and gathering information to be ready for this change when it comes.
