Auto-enrolment

Experts imagined stepping into the shoes of Steve Webb for a day at the NAPF annual conference in Liverpool earlier this month. Natasha Browne heard their big ideas.

Three employers have been issued fixed penalties of £400 in The Pensions Regulator's (TPR) first use of fines for failures related to auto-enrolment (AE).

Firms yet to reach their auto-enrolment (AE) staging dates want the process postponed until wide-reaching changes to the pensions system are finalised, according to research.

Short service refunds are to be banned from October 2015 according to the pensions minister.

Steve Webb speaks to PP about his plans for more changes

Pensions minister Steve Webb has put annuity reform at the top of his wish list should he remain in post after the election.

It is the responsibility of the pensions industry to get its message across as clearly and simply as possible, small businesses say.

Businesses need less time than the industry thinks to prepare for auto-enrolment, according to a small employer.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) expects a significant increase in the number of sanctions it hands out for auto-enrolment non-compliance as small employers hit their staging dates.

The government is looking at scrapping the link between the auto-enrolment trigger and the threshold at which workers begin paying income tax.
