The research found that over half of small businesses feared that they would not be ready to offer a workplace pension scheme to their workforce by their staging date. There are 570,000 small businesses staging this financial year alone, and 1.8 in total between April 2016 and April 2018.
Mike Galvin, Co-Founder of Geniac, said, “The fact that over half of small businesses are unprepared for auto enrolment should ring alarm bells. Entrepreneurs must avoid sleepwalking up to the deadline as this could cost them dearly, particularly fledgling companies with limited budgets.
“Thousands of business owners are simply in the dark over how to handle this major administrative change, or are putting off sorting it because of the time involved. To avoid unexpected penalties, business owners should seek professional advice to get ready by the deadline.”
The Risk of Non-Compliance
Small businesses in the UK are at risk of receiving financial penalties and even court action, should they fail to comply with the Workplace Pension Reforms.
Financial penalties for small businesses include a £400 on-the-spot fine, to a daily fine of £50 for each day of non-compliance.
