After the announcement of the Government initiative to increase private retirement savings within the UK, Frank Taylor & Associates introduces its new low cost workplace pensions scheme.

Workplace pensions are quickly becoming the biggest topic that UK businesses are facing and as a practice owner and employer you have a legal requirement to provide and contribute to a scheme for all eligible staff working within your business. And, with big fines for non-compliance, it is vital you have a plan of action.

Taking some initial steps now will certainly help you along the way. For example:

  • Make sure you know your 'staging date' – this is the date on which workplace pensions go live for your business

  • Determine which employees in your practice are eligible to join the scheme

  • Benefit from cost savings by putting plans in place early

  • Start to tell your staff as much as you can beforehand

  • Make sure your systems/processes are in place

  • Get the right advice.

Many employers assume this is all being managed by their accountant or payroll provider; however, our experience shows this isn't the case so you need to ACT now as you are the one legally responsible to implement a scheme.
