Employer responsibilities for auto-enrolment

In this Sage 50 Payroll Ireland article, we explain what you need to do and how to support employees with auto-enrolment (My Future Fund).

Who decides eligibility?

NAERSA decides eligibility from payroll submissions. You don't assess employees.

---

How can I avoid influencing employees?

You explain the available options and direct employees to official resources. Employers don't advise employees on whether to join, opt out, or suspend.

---

What resources can I share with staff?

The Department of Social Protection provides an information hub: gov.ie auto-enrolment retirement savings system for employees.

---

Where do contributions show in Sage 50 Payroll Ireland?

Payslips and payroll reports show contributions in the Net Deductions section. You can also use the Standard Report Writer to build reports with AE data. For instructions on this, use the Employee Audit for auto-enrolment information.
