Let us take the headache out of auto-enrolment
The government's regulator for pensions is getting tough on employers and so far has investigated 590 companies and issued 163 compliance notices for failing to meet their auto-enrolment duties.
Auto-enrolment is a legal requirement for all employers, however the Pension Regulator has stated that many smaller companies are failing to understand the complexities and are not giving themselves enough time to manage the auto-enrolment process.
The BPIF has endorsed the Printing Industry Pension Scheme (PIPS) for many years. It offers a qualifying workplace pensions scheme with discounted rates, negotiated by the PIPS management committee, and the schemes advisors can help you prepare for your employer duties in plenty of time.
They will help you with all the planning and preparation, deliver the regulatory notifications and enrol your employees. When all your employees are enrolled and any opt outs have been monitored they will register your scheme with the government's regulator.
The schemes advisors will do all this for BPIF member companies at a very competitive implementation rate of £1500 plus VAT.
So not only will they take the headache out of the implementation process they will do it at market beating rates.

Slight recovery of output and orders falls short of expectations in Q4 - confidence concerns mount in 2024
22 February 2024
Performance in the UK's printing and printed packaging industry did improve in Q4, as far as output and orders are concerned. However, it didn't come close to what would historically be considered the seasonal norm, nor quite match the subdued expectations for Q4.
