Safe hands to help you stay on top of your pension workload

Outsourced ERA pension services

Bringing in our insolvency pension specialists is the cost-effective way to tackle the problem of the fast-growing pensions workload. If you’re concerned about how you’re going to manage pensions work into the future, outsourcing to Evolve IS could be the answer.

We can support your in-house pensions team, or take on the complete caseload, providing both the expertise and the admin resource to get the job done successfully and within the agreed timeframe.

No more pension work backlogs. No risk of non-compliance penalties. No worrying that unresolved pensions issues will come back to bite you after the case is closed requiring extra work you won’t get paid for.

Flexible services

Our pensions services are available on a case-by-case basis or as part of a full outsourced solution.

Typically, we step in at the start so we can get to work straightway and minimise delays. But if you need support part-way through a case, we’re equally happy to help.

What our outsourced ERA pensions service includes

Here’s what our ERA pensions team can do for you:

Support employee claims

The Evolve IS team provide clear guidance and support to employees in respect of claims for deductions that may not have been paid over to the pension provider. Your team are free from the stress of dealing with people anxious about their pension situation, and employees are reassured that their rights are being respected (lessening the risk of grievances being aired to the media).

Quantify liabilities arising from unpaid contributions

Fine toothcombs in hand, we check contribution histories carefully for missing payments and provide you with accurate figures in good time.

Check for loans and other potentially suspicious transactions

Loans made to or from the scheme? Sums paid in for the benefit of directors shortly before the insolvency? Whatever’s happened, we report on the facts so you can follow up and take legal action where appropriate.

Liaise with pension providers over scheme closures

Where the IP hasn’t had to assume responsibility for the scheme, we contact the pension provider to formally request winding up, then follow up for confirmation of closure. If you have taken over responsibility, we can introduce you to an independent trustee to handle the winding up process.

Provide a telephone helpline

The Evolve Assist helpline gives employees direct contact with our team for queries and support.

Submit claims for unpaid pension contributions

We liaise with the relevant pension companies, complete RPS paperwork accurately, and submit information promptly.

Ensure you don’t have any lingering duties or liabilities

Defined contribution, defined benefit, group personal pension, stakeholder pension: whatever schemes are in place, we make sure all the loose ends are tied up and you don’t have any outstanding duties in respect of the scheme.

Write any reports required for HMRC, the Pensions Regulator and the National Insurance Contributions Office

If reports are needed, we write clear and concise documents that explain the required information fully and minimise any further queries.
