Once you have enrolled your staff into your pension scheme, you will have ongoing responsibilities, which will be dealt with as part of each payroll run, to include:

• Monitor the age and earnings of staff and check their auto-enrolment eligibility every month.
• Enrol staff and write to them to let them know how auto-enrolment applies to them as soon as they become eligible.
• Pay contributions to the pension scheme before the statutory deadline your provider gives you.
• Manage opt out requests for any staff who choose to opt out within one month of being enrolled, stopping deductions of contributions and arranging a full refund of what has been paid to date.
• Re-enrol and deduct a pension contribution for any eligible employees who have previously opted out, every three year

Postponement

You are able to postpone the auto-enrolment of your workers for up to three months in certain circumstances:

• For new employees (perhaps to align with a probationary period).
• For existing workers who have a peak in earnings (perhaps as a result of a bonus or seasonal working) that leads to auto-enrolment, although normally they would not be eligible.

A notice needs to be issued to these workers to advise them that postponement has taken place within six weeks of postponement commencing.

You must keep records of how you have complied with your auto-enrolment duties, including:

• the names and addresses of those you have enrolled
• records that show when contributions were paid
• any opt-in and opt-out requests
• your pension scheme reference or registry number
• any information you send to your pension provider

You must keep these records for six years and opt-out notices for four years.
