Auto enrolment update.

Chris, Have you asked the development team? The clock is ticking and decisions have to be made, I doubt that I am the only one looking/waiting for answers.

I too am getting anxious to be assured that a Clearbooks / Open Payroll solution is on its way. I am starting to assume that the absence of any Roadmap 1 year out from my staging date, means the likelihood of a working solution being available by then is dwindling, and so I may reluctantly have to consider a move to a integrated product set to that ticks all my boxes - Sage perhaps.

I just had a meeting with a Pension Planner. I wanted to be able to say that Clearbooks is providing our Auto-Enrolment Compliance documentation. I know that there are extant solutions that could be bolted-on, but I would prefer an integrated system to run within the payroll process and not have to run a secondary system.

Whilst our staging date is a little more than a year away I do not wish to have to wait until then to have a solution on tap. There is record keeping to be done for each employee in the period between now and then. There are letters to write, responses needing to be logged, or chased up until either each employee is Auto-Enroled within a pension or all the documentation for why they are not Auto-Enrolled and the reminder systems set-up to ensure such reviews that become necessary are carried out and recorded.

Clearbooks Payroll solution and integration to RTI is a joy to work with and I expect the same for Auto-Enrolment, but when will it arrive in a useable form?

I would also be interested to know the where we stand on this. My staging date is not until 1st July 2016 , but need to start getting prepared, part of which is knowing the payroll software that we're using will handle it.

I spoke to Paul the other day Gordon and believe it's high on the agenda. We didn't talk timescales though i'm afraid, perhaps Paul will see this next time he pokes his head in here...

Hope you're well by the way.

My staging date is April 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi James and all,

Head over to this post to see latest development announcements re Auto enrolment

Hi Kevin, I spoke to Paul when we were at CBCE and I know that VAT MOSS was top of the priorities but as I want to start getting used to AR before any client deadlines approach ( I will set it up for my own company first) I was hoping to be able to use Open Payroll.

I'll have to ask the development team for you Gordon. I will let you know

Ok, has it been decided what the auto enrolment package will be able to do?

Certainly not years Gordon.

Hi Chris,

While I appreciate you cannot give a date yet are we talking weeks, months, years?

Gordon

Hi Gordon,

We do still plan to do this, however there is no date as yet for when it will be implemented.

Chris

Has any progress been made on this? With a new payroll year starting in a couple of months time I need to know whether or not to change payroll software to cope with auto enrolment. Regards

Gordon

Hi James,

Currently this is being worked on and we hope to have this rolled out to go with the changes in the new year.

Thanks

Chris

Hi ,

Is there any further news on this please? I am considering bring my enrolment date forward as a benefit to staff and really want to have a solution that is as integrated as possible.

thanks James
