They suspect that a number of employers are non-compliant with their automatic enrolment systems so will be visiting and checking that all legal duties are being complied with.
"This could lead to a financial penalty or court action!"
The Pensions Regulators Director of Automatic Enrolment, Darren Ryder said, "Most employers are doing the right thing, we know that, however, there is a small number who are ignoring their legal responsibilities. They can expect a firm knock on the door from us soon."
Inspections have already started in Edinburgh and they will continue throughout the summer across the United Kingdon. This is an on-going enforcement campaign and will ensure employers are meeting their legal responsibilities.
On a personal note, my advice is to keep your records as detailed as possible; I can't stress that enough. Be careful of payrises for employees, and ensure that you have written evidence from people who have opted out.
