In the run up to the winter holidays, you may be considering taking on additional temporary staff to help with the workload. While these staff may only be with you for a short period, you still need to consider them for pension purposes each time you pay them.
Staff need to be put into a pension scheme based on their ages and how much they earn. This applies to family members too.
Generally, any staff that are aged between 22 and State Pension age and earn more than £192 a week or £833 a month, need to be put into a pension scheme that you pay into.
Your payroll software can be a big help if it is capable and set up for automatic enrolment as it will assess staff each time they are paid.
The Pensions Regulator has provided an online tool that you can use to work out what legal duties apply to you and what you need to do.
If you are unsure about handling payroll for seasonal staff, please get in touch with our expert payroll team who will be happy to help you.
