Pensions – FAQ

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our Pension Scheme:

1. What is automatic enrolment and who needs it?

All UK employers must automatically enrol eligible employees (e.g. aged 22–66 earning over threshold) in a workplace pension scheme.

2. Can payroll process pension contributions?

Yes. Our integrated payroll software automatically calculates and submits both employer and employee pension contributions during each pay run.

3. How do employees opt in or out of pensions?

We provide all legal communications, manage opt-in / out forms, and process refunds promptly within the opt-out window.

4. What is re‑enrolment and how is it managed?

Every three years, eligible employees who previously opted out are automatically re-enrolled. We monitor and manage this process to keep you compliant.

5. Are pension contributions error‑prone?

Manual administration runs risk of miscalculations or omissions. Our integrated system avoids that by automating deductions and submissions.

6. How do staging dates and start-up enrolment work?

We handle staging planning, communications, and process assistance to ensure legal duty requirements are met from the outset.

7. How often are pension contributions submitted?

Contributions are coordinated monthly with payroll runs and submitted in real time reporting to the pension provider and regulators.

8. What if legislation changes (e.g. contribution thresholds)?

We proactively monitor changes (e.g. shifts in contribution thresholds or reporting rules) and update payroll processes accordingly to maintain full compliance.
