From 2012, employers will have a new duty to auto enrol all employees into a qualifying workplace pension scheme or the National Employment Savings Trust. Crucially it will be mandatory for employers to contribute a minimum 3% to their employees’ pension pots, when the scheme is fully in force. This legislation will change the pension landscape and have a major impact on reward strategy. Recognising that absorbing this new duty is going to be a key theme for employers over the foreseeable future, EEF has teamed up with NEST, BDO LLP and BROADSTONE to run half day, practical seminars that explain the new requirements and answer the main questions being asked by our members, such as: Can we model how many employees will take up the option? How will we absorb the cost of increased pension contributions? What strategies can we deploy to mitigate the impact? What will be the effect on our existing pension arrangements? Can we maximise the tax and NIC efficiency of spend on pension benefits? Is now the time to think about salary sacrifice arrangements? What changes do we need to make to our personnel documentation and our procedures? How will NEST work with employers to help them fulfil their auto-enrolment duties?

The new Bribery Act 2011 came into force on 1 July 2011. To be fully compliant, companies must be pro-active in identifying and managing the risk of corruption in their business. Under the Act, bribery is defined widely. It can include: corporate hospitality where this is lavish and disproportionate bribery committed by overseas associates facilitation (or ‘grease’) payments made to foreign government officials to speed up customs clearance or similar processes. Companies will commit a new offence of ‘failing to prevent bribery’ if any employee or associate commits bribery with the intention of gaining a business advantage for the company, and the company failed to put ‘adequate procedures’ in place to prevent it. It does not matter if the company knew nothing about the bribery– the emphasis is on the procedures the company has in place, rather than its awareness of what was going on. In response to highly positive feedback from the two half-day seminars we organized in July, and in response to continuing member demand, we are delighted to have been able to arrange a third event in Birmingham. We have invited The Head of the UK Corporate Defence Practice at Squire Sanders Hammonds, a leading international law firm, to help members understand the scope of the Act and its practical implications. We are also delighted to confirm that a senior member of the compliance team at Siemens Plc will be presenting a corporate perspective on compliance with the Act.
