The figures on the left are the numbers of employers reaching their staging date each quarter, between now and 2017.  Soon, providers will be hit by a tidal wave of applications - there will be extreme pressure on them to auto-enrol firms, before they are fined.

If you sign up (register with a provider, so that you know that you are queued for tackling the problem) you can get past probably the hardest step. Employers could find schemes of adequate quality few and far between, by the time we get into the real thick of it, because capacity will be stretched to the limit. Remember, there is a learning curve in actually operating the system and, once impemented, the system is a permanent fixture for every payroll run.
