Auto-enrolment will be mandatory from January 2026 but there’s no need to wait until then to prepare. By acting today and opening your existing company pension plan to all employees, you can ensure a smooth transition, retain control of your pension strategy, and support your people beyond the State minimum.
Why act now?
- Maintain control – Keep one single point of contact and oversight across all pension services.
- Simplify administration – Avoid the complexity of managing two separate schemes with different rules and contribution rates.
- Enhance employee benefits – Give employees access to Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) and retirement options before age 66.
- Foster inclusivity – Extend high-quality pension benefits to every member of your workforce.
Key deadline approaching
To ensure contributions for all new joiners are processed before year-end, all new joiners must be added through payroll by the end of November.
Please note: this requires several weeks of lead time for standard payroll processing.
For some monthly payrolls, this means completing by the end of October.
Don’t risk delays: act today to stay on track.
