I
had an interesting conversation yesterday with an employer, which shows how
much you can tell people something and they don’t listen. I’ve been working
with this particular employer for several months looking at their data issues
and how they can assess their employees each payroll cycle.
At
the beginning of every project I outline to every client how the assessment
process will work and one of the questions I make a point of asking is “how
much spare time do you have between payroll cut-off and the time you pay”. The
answer from payroll is indubitably “never enough”.
Auto-enrolment
imposes new duties on the employer, which must take place between the payroll
cut off and pay date. The chances are that you might have to make some serious
changes to the way the company works to accommodate this. This might mean
bringing the cut off date forward or being tougher on timesheets.
Whatever
happens, you are going to have to consider how auto-enrolment is going to fit
into your business as usual in a workable fashion.
