The Pensions Regulator publishes details of alternative staging dates

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has published details of the alternative auto-enrolment staging dates available to employers.

Employers with staging dates in October and November 2012 can bring the date forward to as early as July 2012. Employers with later staging dates can chose a date from October 2012.

An employer’s auto-enrolment staging date is determined by the size of its largest pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) scheme as of 1 April 2012. For some employers this staging date may not suit their business needs for a variety of reasons.

The Pension Regulator’s website also provides information on what employers need to do to change their staging date and notify TPR.
