Assessing employees for pension auto-enrolment

I have been using Standard Payroll on QBO. Will the software notify me when an employee becomes eligible for auto-enrollment to our NEST pension scheme (which I already have set up)? 

 

Thanks.

Assessing employees for pension auto-enrolment

Hi there, BeanFrog.

 

I appreciate you for coming back to the thread to add clarification about setting up an auto-enrolment pension scheme. With this, I'll ensure to share details on how an employee becomes eligible for this scheme.

 

Workplace pensions mandates that every employer in the UK set those employees who qualify into a pension scheme. This is also referred to as Auto-enrolment also requires that employers contribute to this pension scheme. As an employer, auto-enrolment is part of legal duty and it starts the day you hire your first employee. 

 

You can always set up your workplace pension place during the payroll setup. That said, the QuickBooks software won't notify you when an employee becomes eligible for auto-enrolment to the NEST pension scheme. However, you will be prompted to enter your pension scheme details if you have eligible employees during a payroll run. That said, QuickBooks payroll will assist you or it will automatically detect and show in the employee's payroll once they become eligible. This works either Standard or QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

Should you need further assistance about workplace pension, please don't hesitate to post again. I'm always here to help.

So it looks like the answer is no. Is this something that Advanced payroll would do for me?
