FAQs for employers
Your monthly service charges depend on:
- how many workers pay in to your workplace pension
- whether you work directly with us, or with a payroll bureau.
You get a discount if you use a payroll bureau rather than working directly with us. This is because payroll bureaus give you a lot of support with auto enrolment administration.
- When you work directly with us our workplace service charge is £36 a month.
If you’re using a payroll bureau to manage your payroll and give us data, the workplace service charge starts at £12.50 a month.
