In 2012, the government recognized that retirement savings were inadequate among the UK population and introduced the concept of auto-enrolment to tackle this issue.
In simple terms, this scheme mandates that UK companies include all eligible employees in a pension plan. Both the employer and employee make contributions based on a percentage of the employee's salary during each payroll cycle. Employees do have the option to opt out if they prefer to handle their retirement savings independently.
Employers were assigned a "staging date" by which they were required to start enrolling eligible workers in the scheme. This date depended on the number of employees they had on the payroll in April 2012. The goal was to have all companies operating under this scheme by October 2018.
Employees meeting the following criteria will be automatically enrolled:
As an employee of Borderless Payroll, your eligibility for the pension scheme will be determined based on these criteria.
Auto-enrolment holds significant importance for recruiters who engage with temporary workers on a Pay As You Earn (PAYE) basis. Recruiters bear the responsibility of enrolling these workers into a suitable pension scheme.
However, assistance is available to ease the burden.
If you choose a compliant umbrella company like Borderless Payroll, you're in luck. These providers act as genuine employers and are responsible for administering the workplace pension scheme, eliminating any concerns on your part.
When you become part of Borderless Payroll, you will automatically be enrolled in the company pension scheme. All contributions towards your pension will be made on your behalf.
Limited company contractors remain unaffected by these rules, provided they can demonstrate genuine self-employment. This means recruiters won't have any additional tasks related to pension enrolment in such cases.
The primary consideration when choosing an umbrella company is to ensure they are a legitimate employer. Otherwise, you might still have to handle pension scheme administration and employer contributions, which defeats the purpose.
It's also advisable to assess the financial stability and compliance of the provider with pension regulations.
As one of the leading and well-established firms in this industry, you can rely on Borderless Payroll to take care of your contractors and help manage your administrative responsibilities. With years of experience serving contractors, we tailor our services to align with their busy schedules. We are committed to supporting both contractors and recruiters, ensuring peace of mind for all parties involved.
