Auto enrolment HR questions

Hi all

I have attended an auto-enrolment workshop today and I am trying to get my head around what this means for clients (many of whom are small and have not staged yet) from an HR perspective.  I wanted to start compiling a Q&A for clients and businesses about the HR implications of Auto Enrolment.

I wanted to ask what questions you have all come across that I should be including within the Q&A?

Questions which have come to mind from today's date are along the lines of:

What does the employer need to do in terms of consultation when introducing a new AE scheme such as NEST (assuming previously they only had a Stakeholder)?

Do we need to ensure that future changes to the minimum employee pension contributions which are planned as part of the auto-enrolment regime are within the contract of employment?

If an employer decides to change the certification arrangements e.g. they decide to use Set1 contributions instead of say Set 2 or 3 how should this change be managed and presumably the contract of employment needs to reflect this?

What happens if employees TUPE from another Company which has already staged but the Company they are transferring to has not staged yet?

What about the Data Protection implications of sharing data with 3rd parties (e.g. NEST) presumably the contract should reflect this?

If the above does not make sense yet it may be that your Company has not staged yet, but if your Company has already staged please could you post common HR questions which your employees asked or HR implications which you came across.  I would be most grateful and I am sure there are many others out there who are sat scratching their heads!

Thanks in advance.
