TPR begins carrying out spot checks on employers across Northern Ireland
16 February 2018
Northern Ireland is the latest place to be subject to spot checks to ensure employers are complying with their automatic enrolment duties.
These spots checks form part of a continuing nationwide enforcement campaign to ensure that employers are meeting their automatic duties correctly.
Darren Ryder, TPR’s director of Automatic Enrolment, said:
“The vast majority of employers are compliant with the law, but these visits help us identify why some may be struggling so we can take action where we need to.Automatic enrolment is not an option, it’s the law. Where we find employers are not complying, we will use our powers to ensure they comply so that staff receive the pensions they are entitled to."
In the coming months, TPR will be conducting more spot checks in towns and cities across the UK and will help employers with their duties or take further action as appropriate.
Make sure your clients know what they’ll need to do to meet their ongoing duties and that their records are kept up to date.
