Changing payroll software can improve efficiency and automation, but incomplete pension data can create problems long after migration. Payroll bureaus must preserve employee identifiers, scheme settings, contribution history, opt-out records and re-enrolment dates to prevent failed submissions, incorrect assessments and costly investigations.

Re-enrolment and re-declaration create a recurring compliance responsibility for every employer with a workplace pension.
