New employee protections have come into place that apply to all employers, regardless of their staging date. It is not
clear that employers are generally engaged on this issue.
The auto-enrolment regulations are complex and do not fit well with other pension regulations. Some amendments have now been made to align existing regulations with duties such as the disclosure regulations [which govern when a pension scheme must provide certain information to members].
However, there is still a general disconnect, which makes advising [organisations] more challenging.
