A nursery and its main director are to be prosecuted by The Pensions Regulator (TPR) for trying to avoid providing their staff with a workplace pension.
Merseyside-based Sulouste Ltd, which trades as Tiny Hearts Day Nursery and director Christine Moore were accused of wilfully failing to comply with their automatic enrolment responsibilities under section 45 and 46 of the Pensions Act 2008.
Both defendants were also accused of falsely claiming they had enrolled 13 staff into a workplace pensions scheme.
Knowingly providing false information to TPR is an offence under section 80 of the Pensions Act 2004.
Sulouste, which is based in Waterloo, Merseyside and Mrs Moore have been summonsed to appear at Brighton Magistrates Court on 13 November.
A TPR spokesman said: “They will each face one charge of wilfully failing to comply with their automatic enrolment duties and one charge of knowingly or recklessly providing false or misleading information to TPR.”
The case continues.
