Auto-enrolment and payroll compliance
Workplace Pension Duties Need to Be Checked with Payroll
The Pensions Regulator guidance on automatic enrolment duties for new employers explains that even where staff do not need to be put into a pension scheme, employers can still have duties.
Payroll should therefore consider worker assessment, pension contribution calculations, opt-in or opt-out records, pension deductions and records needed to show how the employer met its duties.
Common payroll errors we help avoid
- Submitting payroll information after payday.
- Using incorrect tax codes or student loan deductions.
- Missing PAYE payment deadlines.
- Incorrect pension contribution deductions.
- Not processing starters and leavers correctly.
- Failing to reconcile payroll with accounts and HMRC liabilities.
