Pension auto-enrolment is coming to Ireland – are you prepared?
Auto-enrolment is a new retirement savings scheme set up by the government to enable people without a work or private pension to save for retirement.
Auto-enrolment is set to be introduced from 1 January 2026 and will have significant implications for small and medium sized (SME) employers and their employees.
It is vital that you understand the extent to which auto-enrolment might impact your business and take steps now to implement the best possible solution for your business and your employees.
