Workplace Pensions are here to stay

The Pension Regulator (TPR) is turning up the heat on Employers.

Employers must take action to put a qualifying registered Pension Scheme in place by the company’s ‘staging date’, otherwise compliance action will be taken.

In the last quarter of 2015, TPR have issued:

  • 4818 Compliance Notices
  • 224 Unpaid Contribution Notices
  • 1594 Fixed Penalty Notices
  • 31 Escalating Penalty Notices

In a report TPR said:

“In the next 12 months, more than 500,000 employers will go through Automatic Enrolment.  We expect to see a rise in the number of times we need to use our powers, so our message to employers remains clear: start getting your plans in place early or you risk being fined.”
