Learn About Auto Enrolment
Auto Enrolment is one of the biggest upcoming changes to retirement planning in Ireland and will impact both employers and employees across the country. The new system is designed to help workers build retirement savings automatically through payroll contributions, making pension planning more accessible for people who may not currently have a private pension in place.
Under the proposed Irish Auto Enrolment scheme, employees who meet certain age and income thresholds and are not already contributing to a pension will be automatically enrolled into a retirement savings programme. Contributions will come from the employee, the employer, and the State, creating a long-term savings structure aimed at improving financial security in retirement.
For employers
New responsibilities around payroll, contributions, compliance and employee communication.
For employees
A chance to start a pension earlier and benefit from long-term compound growth over time.
At Cunningham Financial Services Ltd, we understand that many business owners and employees have questions about how Auto Enrolment will work, what it means for their finances, and how to prepare properly. Our role is to provide clear, practical guidance to help individuals and businesses understand the changes ahead and make informed decisions for the future.
