Staying compliant
By your duties start date/ongoing
There are a few key things you have to do to make sure your workplace pension scheme is compliant with auto enrolment legislation. If your scheme isn't compliant, you could be fined by The Pensions Regulator.
Your workplace pension scheme needs to be in place by your duties start date and meet the auto enrolment criteria. That means:
- Your scheme has a suitable default investment fund that all employees’ pension contributions will be invested in, unless they choose otherwise
- The pension provider/trustees agree your pension scheme can be used for auto enrolment
- The level of pension contributions you and your employees make meet the minimum levels for auto enrolment
- All employees who meet the enrolment criteria are enrolled.
