Auto-enrolment
UK rule requiring employers to automatically enrol qualifying staff in a workplace pension.
Auto-enrolment requires UK employers to enrol eligible workers (aged 22 to State Pension Age, earning over £10,000) into a workplace pension automatically. Minimum total contribution: 8% of qualifying earnings (3% employer + 5% employee).
Employees can opt out, but employers must re-enrol them every 3 years. Failure to comply attracts penalties from The Pensions Regulator.
