In this latest episode of our Employer Insights Ireland podcast series, we will be discussing auto-enrolment and its significance to Irish employers.

Listen to the podcast to hear our host James Campbell chat with Caitriona MacGuinness, Head of DC and Private Wealth at Mercer Ireland. Caitriona will explain how auto-enrolment is going to impact nearly all Irish employers in some way and why it is important to understand what it means for your business and your employees.

Together they will break down what auto-enrolment is and answer the questions that really matter to employers when it comes to;

• The status of auto-enrolment and when we can expect it.

• The process of auto-enrolment and what we can expect will happen on day 1.

• The role of the new State body, ‘The Central Processing Agency’.

• Whether employees are going to be better off in the central system or not.

• Cost implications for employers and how costs will increase over time.

• What to do if you use auto-enrolment as your pension plan.

• What to do if you use auto-enrolment as your organisation’s pension plan.

• Potential alternatives to using the State’s auto-enrolment system.
