When it comes to pensions, it is of paramount importance to Re-DOC on time!

tiemadmin • 3 December 2024

A tribunal recently ruled on the failure of a private limited company, El Recruitment Ltd., to submit its Re-DOC before the statutory deadline as required under the 'Employer Duties' of the Pensions Act 2008. The Pensions Regulator had sent two prior letters, although the company failed to do so and received a compliance notice addressed to the registered office address which was considered properly served.

The regulator unsuccessfully attempted to call the appellant using the number held within its records. El Recruitment did not complete the Re-DOC by the extended deadline and so the Pensions Regulator issued a £400 fixed penalty per Section 144A of the Act.

The director argued that they had moved out of the registered office and forgot to update the registered office address, although they could not be reached by telephone. However, the Tribunal was unmoved and unconvinced by this argument, as one of the reminders had been sent before the move and was still ignored.

While the Pensions Regulator is not obliged to send reminder communications it usually does so as a courtesy and the Company’s appeal over its £400 fine was unsuccessful. This case highlights the importance of filing promptly and allowing sufficient time for delivery.  Re-enrolment must take place every three years at a date of your choosing.
