It’s been over ten years in the creating, but auto enrolment for workplace pensions has finally arrived in Ireland. This session will provide a detailed analysis of the key employer obligations including an in depth look at the employers interactions with the National Auto-Enrolment Retirement Savings Authority (NAERSA).
