The auto-enrolment pension reforms continue to spread confusion throughout the construction sector, with many business owners and managers still unaware of what the changes mean for them, their employees and their accounting systems.
The reforms, which began to come into effect incrementally earlier this year, are an effort by the government to ensure that more workers are able to adequately prepare for their futures through sensible financial planning.
From an employer's perspective, this means that you will be required to register any qualifying employees with the Pensions Regulator, enrol them onto a suitable pensions scheme and even contribute to their schemes yourself, all before your relevant 'staging date'.
