Auto-enrolment payroll software for UK employers

Nxsys handles your workplace pension duties inside payroll. It assesses every employee on every pay run, enrols the ones who qualify, sends the statutory letters and submits contributions to your pension provider.

WHAT IS AUTO-ENROLMENT

What is pension auto-enrolment?

Every UK employer must put eligible staff into a workplace pension and pay into it. Employees aged 22 to State Pension age who earn more than £10,000 a year must be enrolled, and the minimum total contribution is 8% of qualifying earnings, with at least 3% from the employer.

Every pay run

Assess

Each employee is checked on age and earnings each time you run payroll.

With the right letters

Enrol

Eligible staff are enrolled and told in writing, and opt-outs are handled.

Every three years

Re-enrol

Staff who opted out are re-enrolled, and you declare compliance to The Pensions Regulator.

Nxsys follows the rules for you, so you meet your duties without tracking thresholds by hand.
