Grocery retailer Asda has implemented HR and payroll provider Ceridian UK’s auto-enrolment module to help meet its new pension reform obligations, covering 175,000 employees.

Ceridian UK chief product and innovation officer David Woodward said: “This contract was a significant one for us as Asda is our largest payroll customer and for it to select our off-the-shelf solution for pension reform, while others were building custom one-off solutions, demonstrates its confidence in our integrated payroll/pension solution that should form a template for others to follow in a cost-effective and risk-free way.

Asda pension manager Steve Jones said: “Auto-enrolment is a big change that brings with it a whole host of complicated processing requirements that need to be carried out in very tight timescales and repeated every month. Choosing the right systems solution was an important decision.”
