Auto Enrolment Compliance Notices Rise
Figures from The Pensions Regulator (TPR) show a rise to 469 auto enrolment compliance notices were issued to employers between July and September 2015.
A compliance notice is issued under section 35 of the Pensions Act 2008 to remedy a contravention of one or more auto-enrolment employer duty provision.
The latest number is almost quadruple that for the previous quarter. In addition, during the last quarter TPR issued 85 unpaid contributions notices, 107 fixed penalty notices of £400, and two escalating penalty notices carrying a daily fine of between £50 and £10,000.
This brings the total of escalating penalty notices issued to seven.
