Pension schemes

For automatic enrolment you need to have a qualifying pension scheme. To help you manage your schemes, you can set them up in Payroll.

You can have multiple schemes set up.

For example:

• A standard plan to enrol your employees
• A separate plan for your managers 

• NEST
• NOW: Pensions
• The People’s Pension
• Smart Pension

If you don’t use one of these pension providers, you can set up your own pension scheme.

The Pensions Regulator has lots of useful information. See their website Choose a pension scheme for automatic enrolment (opens in new tab).
