Are your monthly pension submissions up to date?

For UK payroll companies and umbrella employers, pension compliance is just as important as processing salaries and submitting PAYE to HMRC.

Every month, payroll teams need to ensure that employee pension contributions are calculated correctly, contribution schedules are submitted to NEST, and payments reach the pension scheme by the relevant deadlines.

What happens if you miss a deadline?

Late or missing pension contributions can lead to:

£400 fixed penalty notices from The Pensions Regulator (TPR) in applicable enforcement cases.

Escalating daily penalties ranging from £50 to £10,000 if statutory notices are not complied with.

Backdated pension contributions and additional costs to correct missed payments.

Compliance issues, additional administration and potential damage to your business reputation.

Remember, submitting a contribution schedule is not enough on its own. The correct contributions must also be paid on time. For NEST, you should normally submit your schedule and payment at least five working days before the payment due date to allow processing time.
