Platinum One Payroll Services
Auto Enrollment Pension Service
Pension law has changed. Every business has to automatically enroll eligible workers into a qualifying pension scheme. Auto enrollment means that as an employer you must have a company pension scheme in place that you contribute to and you must assess each of your employees for eligibility to join the scheme, every time you run your payroll.
Selecting the correct pension scheme to meet your needs and obligations and those of your employees can be challenging. One of the pension schemes we offer is Nest Pension. We also offer an Auto Enrollment administration service that takes care of the additional workload involved with the scheme. Platinum One Payroll can provide a combined payroll and auto enrollment service, therefore taking over most of your administrative tasks.
