Workplace pensions workshop for local firms

Reepham Chamber of Commerce is holding a series of workshops to benefit businesses in and around Reepham over the coming months. The first of these will be on the subject of Workplace Pensions and Auto-Enrolment on Tuesday 20 September at 6 pm in the boardroom at Carlton House, Market Place, Reepham.
 

 
Robert Clarke of Almary Green will be explaining the preparation involved for employers who will be reaching their staging dates during 2016/17 and will point out some of the pitfalls to avoid.
 
He comments that “many smaller businesses mistakenly believe they have nothing to do, but even if you have no eligible employees you may have to set up a scheme and you will certainly have to complete a declaration in order to comply with the rules”.
 
Mr Clarke will also be giving information to employers who have already put schemes in place and who may have encountered difficulties along the way.
 
“Auto-enrolment is not something you do once and then forget about,” he said. “There are ongoing responsibilities and you must continue to assess your workforce at every pay period.”
