Penalty notices

Details of Escalating Penalty Notices for automatic enrolment breaches and fines for scheme return offences.

Section 89 of the Pensions Act 2004 gives us the power to publish information on cases where we have exercised or considered exercising our powers.

Our ability to publish information – including details of our enforcement cases – plays an important part in enabling our commitment to transparency, and increases awareness and understanding of our decisions and actions.

The following tables name employers who have received an Escalating Penalty Notice (EPN) for breaches relating to automatic enrolment under the Pensions Act 2008. We will publish the names of those who have paid their EPN and remain non-compliant, as well as those who have failed to pay their EPN and as a result have been made subject to a court order.

We also publish information about failures to complete a scheme return. Trustees have a legal obligation to give us information about their pension scheme by completing a scheme return when required, and can be fined under section 10 of the Pensions Act 1995.

The Occupational Pension Schemes (Charges and Governance) Regulations 2015 also require us to issue a mandatory penalty where there has been a failure to prepare a chair’s statement. We have carried out a review of our approach and concluded it is no longer proportionate to publish a list of names of schemes that were fined.

Please note that penalties are listed when they become payable but may relate to an historical breach. The values shown as paid are the values for the Escalating Penalty Notice only and may not be the value of the payment made. The payment value will include the Fixed Penalty Notice value if that remained unpaid as well as the associated court fees.
