Autoenrolment is a Government Initiative that requires all employers to put eligible employees into a pension scheme. The employee pays a percentage of their wages and so does the employer, unless the employee chooses to opt out
Employers must do the following in relation to Autoenrolment:
- Work out who to put into a pension
- Choose a pension scheme
- Put eligible staff into a qualifying pension scheme
- Write to staff
- Declare compliance
- Re-enrol staff that have left the pension scheme every three years
Employees can expect to receive information relating to the Employers pension scheme, whether they qualify for autoenrolment and if they can join if they don’t qualify
