Workplace Pensions For Employers

As an employer, and even more as an employer in the regtech space, we wanted to make sure our company was compliant with the Auto-Enrolment legislation. We had some internal changes, and the heavy administration and missing the internal expertise made us get in touch with Husky, and I must say that we loved the experience! We are now compliant and have the peace of mind that this is all taken care of, and we are also saving time and money on internal resources. Husky are also making pensions a stand-out employee benefit. Through their pension comparator tool, they helped us switch to a pension provider that provided more benefits to our staff and they also gave them access to the Husky app. It’s great to see that our employees are engaged and excited about their pension, making it a more valuable benefit and helping retention.

Being the owner of a small business and managing almost all necessary admin in-house, workplace pensions fell through the cracks and weren’t at the top of my priority list. I missed my Staging Date for the government’s auto-enrolment compliance and received a notice from The Pensions Regulator that I was going to be fined for non-compliance. The Husky team turned this around for me. Within three weeks, I was compliant and they’d also helped overturn a £14,000 fine. Now, by working with Husky, I won’t have to worry about staying compliant as the platform takes away the pension admin headache.

The responsibility of making the right decision on behalf of our staff was enormous. We realised it would directly impact our colleagues’ financial security when they retire. We all work hard. We didn’t want money to be lost in hidden pension charges. We certainly didn’t want to give money to a pension that would go bust before anyone could reap the rewards. The more I read about workplace pensions and the risks of choosing a poor one, the happier I am with our choice to use Husky. I really don’t know what we would have done without the support from Husky.

I had no idea about the real costs of workplace pensions until I asked Husky for help. The pension providers make it look simple, but I realised that it’s the cost to the business and our workers over the lifetime of the pension that is important – not the set-up fees or the fees in the first year. Husky helped me to understand what I was choosing, buying and providing for my workers.

I had considered running our workplace pension scheme internally, but Husky came recommended and using them seemed far easier. The experience has been simplicity itself – they’ve taken care of everything, and I’ve not had to worry about a thing since signing up. I get quick responses to any questions, they’re good at keeping in touch with updates, and they’re proactive about coordinating with our accountant. Husky have made it very easy to manage our workplace pensions.

Husky turned a potential nightmare into a carefree experience. Our biggest auto-enrolment issues were around dealing with administration and deadlines but with Husky’s services, pension contribution calculations are done easily. The portal has a user-friendly dashboard and interface and all admin is taken care of. They are swift in giving expert advice and managing the execution. A trouble-free auto-enrolment journey!
