CHELMSFORD, ENGLAND, September 24, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It was announced this week that one of the UK's most established pension providers is to soon charge a fixed monthly fee to employers wishing to sign up for its auto-enrolment scheme.
The firm's Chief Executive said the charge would be introduced to fund guidance for smaller firms who have reached their staging date.
The charge is set to come into force from 1st January 2016. The provider has issued a statement noting that the launch of this charge will not apply to any firm that already has an accepted contract with the company, even if they are staging in 2016 or beyond.
Gary Keeley, founder of The Workplace Pension Consultancy Ltd, is keen to stress the benefits of implementing a workplace pension scheme sooner rather than later to prepare fully for the legislative changes that are coming into play, whilst simultaneously avoiding such charges.
"The staging dates for many businesses are looming much closer, but many companies are still undecided as to how they are going to handle their staff pensions in order to comply with new auto enrolment regulations," says Gary, who, with over 20 years' experience in the financial services industry, is also a founding director of independent financial advisers London Region Financial Services Ltd.
"I would highly recommend that employers get in touch with impartial specialists who are on hand to source the best possible workplace pension provider to address their unique needs. Getting professional advice now will ensure that a comprehensive plan is in place before the company's deadline, and that the correct investment funds are available from the launch of the scheme."
