13 Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) “Our view is that an LLP should assume that the Supreme Court’s decision is equally applicable and as such, members of an LLP could be considered workers for automatic enrolment.” Source: The Pensions Regulator, Automatic enrolment Compliance and enforcement Quarterly bulletin, April-June 2014 “This ruling applies retrospectively.”

14 Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) Check TPR guidance, and consider: Integration within the organisation Dependence/subordination, and Exclusivity (ie could the individual provide services to anyone else).
