As you may know all businesses that employ any staff must enrol them in a pension scheme on their staging date. From the 1st of October 2017 any new business formed will not receive a staging date. Instead the pension regulator will expect the business to auto-enrol and have a pension scheme in place as soon as they employ anyone.

It has also been announced that the Pension Regulator has begun spot checks on businesses to ensure that their employees are being given access to a pension scheme. Failure to do so can lead to a substantial fine from the Pension Regulator.
