Half Day Training Course

From January 2026, Ireland’s new Pension Auto-Enrolment system (My Future Fund) will transform how employers handle retirement savings. Every employer, regardless of size will be required to automatically enrol eligible staff and process contributions correctly through payroll. This represents one of the biggest payroll and HR changes in decades, with strict compliance obligations and significant financial implications for both employers and employees. This course will give you a clear understanding of the rules, practical steps for implementation and some tools you can use to ensure your payroll systems and processes are ready for the change.

After this course participants will be able to understand the rules, contribution calculations, tips on payroll changes required, reporting to Revenue and have a concrete implementation plan going forward

All attendees will receive a full course pack to refer to and will have the benefit of learning from a trainer with a wealth of experience in this area.

Places are limited and are allocated on a first come first served basis.
