The Pensions Trust, one of the leading multi-employer occupational pension funds in the UK for the Third Sector, announces today the launch of an online auto-enrolment staging date facility.
This unique tool enables any organisation to access their auto-enrolment staging date. In addition to providing their actual staging date, the tool also generates a personalised Action Planner which highlights the key steps they need to be taking towards this date and a breakdown of what the organisation needs to be putting in place before their staging date is reached. Also included is a useful glossary of terms which helps the user to familiarise themselves with the ‘elements’ of auto-enrolment.
The tool received some positive feedback from delegates at the ACEVO Annual Conference: ‘What a really useful tool, you have saved me a job’; ‘What a really clever idea’; and ‘Thank you for creating a really useful tool, I haven’t come across anything like this’.
Organisations can find out more about this online auto-enrolment staging date tool on the Trust’s website www.thepensionstrust.org.uk via the Auto-enrolment link or at the Voice11 event being held in London on 30 March 2011.
Logan Anderson, Head of Customer Relations at The Pensions Trust said: ‘We are delighted with the feedback we have received so far. We have several thousand employers who need to be prepared and this is a useful tool to support our auto-enrolment communications programme. But any employer can go to our website and use this simple tool. All you need to know is how many UK staff you employ and we’ll tell you when you need to be ready (your staging date) and what you need to think about.
