Re-enrolment is the process in which you must re-enrol certain employees who have left your company's pension scheme. This happens every three years.

It's a legal duty as an employer. Re-enrolment ensures that employees are given the chance to add to their lifetime savings pot.

Regardless of whether you need to re-enrol any employees, it's a legal obligation for you to complete a re-declaration of compliance to inform The Pensions Regulator (TPR) that you have met your legal duties. Failure to act on this legal duty could result in you receiving fines and being liable to pay both your and your employees' missing pension contributions.

Re-enrolment occurs every 3 years from your staging date.

Your staging date (also called duties start date) is the date that your employer duties come into effect. This is also the day your first member of staff starts work. If you're unsure which dates to use, you can find out from The Pensions Regulator website.

You have a 6-month window to complete your re-enrolment. The window starts 3 months prior to your 3-year anniversary and finishes 3 months after your 3-year anniversary.

This process repeats every 3 years.

After the process is complete, and you know how many employees have been re-enrolled, you'll need to submit a re-declaration to TPR. You still need to submit a re-declaration even if no employees were re-enrolled. For more information about how to do this, please refer to our Help Centre article.
