Read the alpha transition Employer Guide, which is designed to help you prepare to move affected members into the alpha scheme from 1 April 2022.

Detail

The alpha transition Employer Guide covers the steps you need to take in relation to:

• Identifying members who are in-scope
• Engaging with third parties
• Moving members into alpha
• Payroll cut-off dates
• Enhanced data validations
