The government has recently announced that it will defer auto enrolment for the smaller firms for up to a year. This will affect firms with 50 or less employees and will see their staging date deferred until after May 2015 (the next Parliamentary session).
There is also speculation that the phasing of contributions may be reviewed. Further information on both these points will be released in January 2012 and we will then update the website to reflect the confirmed changes.
