Automatic Enrolment

What is automatic enrolment?

The Workplace Pension Law has changed. Employers will be required to automatically enrol employees into a qualifying pension scheme. A qualifying pension scheme is a way to save for your retirement, arranged by your employer. Employers must also contribute towards employees retirement savings.

You will be automatically enrolled into a qualifying pension scheme, if you:

• Work in the UK;
• Are not currently an active member of a qualifying  workplace pension;
• Are aged 22 or over;
• Are under the state retirement age;
• Earn more than £10,000* a year
