The Pensions Regulator has got their first prosecution of a firm deliberately failing to provide workplace pensions for their staff.
The firm is Stotts Tours (Oldham) and both the firm and the Managing Director, Alan Stott will have to pay over £60,000 to The Pensions Regulator after they admitted they deliberately tried to avoid providing auto enrolment pensions to their workers. Which is against the Law.
The Judge said that Mr Stott had buried his head in the sand, and this later left him out of his depth.
