Ceridian has launched an off-the-shelf auto-enrolment product for small and medium-sized employers (SMEs).

The technology and service providers’ product aims to help organisations with between 499 and 59 employees that will reach their staging date in 2014 and reduce the administrative burden of complying with auto-enrolment.

It is delivered through Ceridian’s HRevolution product.

David Woodward (pictured), chief product and innovation officer at Ceridian, said: “In our experience, many employers underestimate the work involved in ensuring compliance and the extra costs involved in terms of additional headcount or alternative technology and the systems integration cost.

“SMEs staging in 2014, many of which have not yet planned for auto-enrolment, will place huge strain on providers, many of which will not be equipped to meet the demand.”
