What Is Re-Enrolment?

Re-enrolment is a process that each company with an active AE scheme goes through every three years*. This is where you must re-enrol staff who left their pension*, back into a scheme that can be used for automatic enrolment.

'*' - Your re-enrolment date should be every three years but you can choose a date three month either side of this date, giving you a six month window for re-enrolment.

'*' - You must enrol workers who opted out more than twelve months before your re-enrolment date. It is optional as to whether you enrol those who opted out within that 12 month window.


How Do I Setup Re-Enrolment In MDA?

It's really easy to set this up on MDA 😁 Just go to Settings -> Pension Auto Enrolment ,as shown below.

On this page you will find all the settings to do with your auto enrolment scheme, including the re-enrolment date 😁

Once you've entered your re-enrolment date and decided whether you will exclude those who opted out within the year, just hit save and MDA will do the rest for you 😎

When that pay date comes around, anyone paid after that date that meets the re-enrolment criteria will be auto enrolled back into the scheme.


What Is Re-Declaration?

Re-Declaration is where you notify the pensions regulator of the number of staff who were assessed on your re-enrolment date, and the number of staff that fell into certain categories.

You must complete and submit your re-declaration of compliance within five months of the third anniversary of your automatic enrolment duties start date or staging date. Your re-declaration deadline doesn’t change if you chose a different date for re-enrolment.
