Mims Davies MP asks those employing temporary festive workers to ensure that they are fulfilling their pension duties.
Mims is backing a campaign by The Pensions Regulator to remind employers of temporary seasonal staff across East Grinstead, Uckfield and the villages, that they may risk a fine if they don’t comply with their legal pension duties.
The warning comes from The Pensions Regulator (TPR) in an online campaign aimed at employers most likely to hire temporary workers over the festive period.
Social media posts featuring festive workers remind employers that if they are hiring temporary staff, they should ensure they check on their legal automatic enrolment (AE) duties.
Mims Davies MP said
It' important every worker who is eligible under AE rules is enrolled into a workplace pension scheme and gets the pension they are due.
I'd like to remind employers, even if your additional staff only work for a few days or weeks, employers must remember to assess whether they're eligible to be enrolled into a pension scheme or not.
Support and step by step guidance is available from the regulator to ensure that employers meet their duties correctly.
