Auto enrolment of employees into a pension scheme

The Auto Enrolment Scheme is also controversial but in a different way, as it imposes a legal obligation on employers to enrol employees into a pension scheme that meets certain standards.

The start date for auto enrolment varies, but all employees aged between 22 and the state pension age must be enrolled into a pension scheme, unless they earn up to the basic personal allowance of £9,440 (going up to £10,000 for 2014/15). Employees can opt out if they wish (and indeed opt in if not automatically enrolled). We will be pleased to assist you and, if not already known, advise you of the start date for your business.
