Auto Enrolment to National Employment Savings Trust

You may have started to hear adverts on the radio that Auto-Enrolment in to the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) is about to be phased in for all employers (from October 2012) these major UK pension reforms will significantly impact employers’ human resource, payroll, pensions and finance functions.

Being ready to comply could take over 18 months; the impact is more than just extra pensions’ costs.

I am pleased to announce that Haven IFA Limited are offering a free of charge Seminar on the 29th February 2012 for employers to help explain the changes and how best to prepare for them. Please see the attached NEST Seminar invitation to this event for further details.

Please book early as we expect the event to be popular and numbers are limited.
