Your employer duties

 

The new laws surrounding workplace pensions

Changes to pensions law will give employers new duties in relation to their workforce.

Who will this apply to?

As an employer, you'll have new duties in relation to everyone working for you:

  • who is aged between 16 and 74
  • who works in the UK
  • for whom you deduct income tax and National Insurance contributions from their wages.

In this tool, we'll refer to these people as your 'staff'.

Your duties will depend on the ages and earnings of your staff on your staging datestaging dateThe date when the new law is 'switched on' for your business. Our tool 'Find out your staging date' will tell you when this is likely to be..

 

Important note

All employers are required to register their business with The Pensions Regulator, even if they have no employer duties for their staff. You can't do this yet, but you'll be able to complete registration on this website.
