Auto-Enrolment Pension Compliance Pack for Irish Employers
Ireland’s new state-run pension scheme — My Future Fund — is here, and every employer has to act. If you have even one employee aged between 23 and 60 earning more than €20,000 a year and not already in an occupational pension, you must enrol them, deduct contributions through payroll, and keep auditable records. Get it wrong and you are exposed to WRC complaints and Revenue follow-up.
You do not need a meeting. You do not need to come into an office.
What’s included
- Staff notification letter explaining the scheme, contribution rates, and opt-out rights.
- Opt-out / opt-in / re-enrolment tracking procedure.
- Payroll wording pack — exact payslip line items, employment contract clause, and offer-letter clause for new hires.
- Solicitor sign-off letter for your file confirming the pack has been drafted by an Irish-qualified solicitor.
Why now?
My Future Fund enrolment has started. You can be audited on your written policy, opt-out records and payroll contribution processing. Getting this pack in place removes the personal and corporate liability while your payroll provider catches up.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to enrol my staff in My Future Fund even if I already offer a pension?
If your existing occupational pension meets the exemption conditions (minimum contribution levels and matched Revenue approval) you may not need to.
How long does the pack take?
Five working days from the moment you send us your staff list and business details.
Is this a one-off or do I need to re-do it every year?
The pack is a one-off compliance bundle.
What if an employee wants to opt out?
The pack includes the opt-out form, the 2-year re-enrolment process, and the payroll reversal wording so your payroll provider handles it correctly.
