Countdown to pensions duties for small and micro businesses across the North West

Date published: 01 October 2015


The automatic enrolment countdown for thousands of small and micro businesses across the North West has begun and The Pensions Regulator is calling on employers to act now.

The law has changed so that around 125,000 employers across the North West will have to meet their new pensions duties.

Across the UK, up to 1.8 million employers will have automatic enrolment duties over the next three years.

Many of these employers will see their legal duties start from January next year and with just four months to go, they should now be well underway with their plans. All employers should check exactly when the law applies to them, even if you employ just one person.
