Setting up re-enrolment
To ensure you don't miss your re-enrolment date, you must enter your enrolment and re-enrolment dates in your PayFit account.
Tip: If you're not sure of your enrolment dates, you can use The Pension Regulators online tool to find out.
To do this:
From the left, choose Pensions, then Auto-enrolment.
Click Set up my auto-enrolment.
Select the statement that applies to you, then click Next.
Enter your Duties start date, then click Next. Your Duties start date is either your staging date or the date your first worker started with the company.
Enter your last re-enrolment date, or if it's less than three years since your Duties start date, enter your duties start date again.
Enter your next re-enrolment date, then click Save.
Your account is now set up to remind you when it's time to complete your re-enrolment.
Completing re-enrolment
Note: You must re-enrol all eligible workers. Even if they have already asked not be re-enrolled.
In the month that your re-enrolment falls, you'll receive a Required action (bell icon) confirming that you need to complete your re-enrolment this month.
You can access the Re-enrolment page up to 3 months prior to the deadline to see which employees are eligible, but you cannot re-enrol employees until the month of the re-enrolment date.
From the left, choose Pensions, then Re-enrolment.
Under the Re-enrolment section, you'll see a list of workers who are not already in a qualifying scheme. It also shows which of those workers are eligible to be re-enrolled.
To re-enrol workers in bulk, click Re-enrol employees, download the template and upload the completed file.
Or to re-enrol workers individually,
Under the Action column select Re-enrol
Enrol the employee in the desired scheme
Finally, once all the employees are enrolled click on Go to re-declaration to save the information and be redirected to the re-declaration of compliance.
Tip: Don't forget to set your next re-enrolment date under Pensions, then Auto-enrolment.
If PayFit manages the upload of your pension files, those workers will be re-enrolled into your pension scheme at the end of the month. If you upload your own pension files, you may need to re-enrol these workers with your pension provider and let them know you have completed your re-enrolment.
When you run your payroll, workers who have been enrolled will receive an enrolment letter.
Now that you've re-enrolled your workers, you can submit your re-declaration of compliance.
Submitting a re-declaration of compliance
To access the Re-declaration of Compliance, you can navigate through the re-enrolment page. Alternatively, once re-enrolment is complete, you'll receive a notification via the bell icon. This 'Required Action' will redirect you accordingly.
Under the Re-declaration of compliance section, you'll see the information you need. Ssimply head to The Pension Regulator's online form to complete your re-declaration.
Once you are done make sure to confirm that the re-declaration of compliance has been completed and press save.
