  1. Look at Review pension arrangements. In the Do you have an existing pension scheme? list, select Yes.
  2. Select the Confirm link.

The TPR website now opens. You can check whether your existing scheme qualifies. If you’re unsure, speak to your pension provider.

  1. If it qualifies, go to the Pensions tab.
  2. Select the Pension scheme qualifies check box.
  3. Select Add a new pension then Add your own pension. Complete the necessary information for the Pension Scheme.
  4. You can add a pension scheme to an employee when you process their pay.

 TIP: Some Employees will already be members of a qualifying pension scheme. These employees aren't moved into the new pension when you stage. They are already in a scheme that meets the rules. You should still communicate the automatic enrolment changes to your employees.
