Forward Plan Reference: The introduction of Regulations requiring all employees to automatically enrol their employees on a Pension Scheme is due to come into affect from 1 April 2013. This requirement would have an immediate significant impact on the Council and also impact on the existing HR/Payroll practice and workload for the Council. Delaying the decision on the possible application of transitional and postponement arrangement would have a significant and detrimental impact on the Council's resources and on the introduction of new Payroll functions. The Council Meeting will be asked to approve the decision at its meeting on 14 February 2013 and the Corporate, Resource Management & Governance Scrutiny Committee will be considering the matter on 28 January 2013.

Equality and/or Environmental Impact Assessment: No

Relevant Scrutiny Committee for the purpose of call-in: Not for Call-in
