Howard Worth, Pensions Auto Enrolment Seminar, 16th September – 8.00am to 9.30am.

Workplace pension’s law has changed and as an employer regardless of your size, you are legally required to comply with these changes.

Employers are now obligated to automatically enrol certain staff into a workplace pension scheme and make contributions. Additionally, as an employer, you will have to inform your employees about the scheme, enrol them onto it and allow other employees to join if they request to do so.

At our Auto enrolment seminar you will be given the opportunity to speak with our professionals to get their view on your circumstances, how these changes will affect your business and the risks that deferment carries. The seminar will also valuable to those employers who are seeking reassurance that what they have done meets the required standards.
