My
dad is a systems integration engineer and right now I can really empathise with
him! His job basically involves taking a number of components that were never
intended to work together and trying to force them to work seamlessly as part
of a process.
The
parallels are there for auto enrolment pensions at the moment, with trying to
integrate the HR systems with payroll system to get all the necessary employee
information out to input into the auto enrolment system. Sounds simple when you
start to talk about it, right? Then you realise that yes, these systems can
export some of the data (usually not everything that you want), but never in the
format required or quite in the right way to make the job straightforward.
I
find that conversations about pensions data & systems early in the auto
enrolment planning stage are an absolute must.
Have a call or a meeting with your payroll provider, auto enrolment
consultant and pension provider as soon as possible to understand the
challenges ahead.
