About
Important workplace pension responsibilities
Join us for a live webinar at 2.30pm on 22 November, where our expert panel will be talking about some of the most important aspects of your clients’ workplace pensions responsibilities. Automatic enrolment is a continuing process for employers, and there are ongoing duties they need to complete long after they’ve put their staff into a pension scheme. Our experts will guide you through what needs to be done, and will answer any questions you have in a live Q&A session.
In this webinar, our panel will take you through the tasks that your clients will need to undertake this financial year, such as re-enrolment and increasing minimum contributions (phasing) as well as the longer term plans for future legislative change. They will also explain how automatic enrolment duties affect those employing staff for the first time, tell you about the latest cases of non-compliance and update you on our enforcement actions. We will look at the lessons learnt from this, including the most common mistakes and how to avoid them. And we will highlight the recently launched ScamSmart campaign.
Register for the webinar today.
