Pension Auto-Enrolment: Employer Obligations

The UK operates an automatic enrolment pension system, requiring employers to enrol eligible employees into a workplace pension scheme.

Both the employee and employer must contribute. The minimum total contribution is 8% of qualifying earnings, including at least 3% from the employer.

This is a legal obligation regulated by The Pensions Regulator. Employees can opt out, but they must be enrolled first. Failure to comply may result in penalties for the employer.
