Auto-enrolment

Under pensions auto-enrolment, UK employers are legally required to set up a workplace pension for all qualifying employees.

The government introduced auto-enrolment in 2012 to help more people save for their retirement. Since then around 10 million people have been auto-enrolled and are saving for their retirement with their employer’s help. Employers currently contribute a minimum of 3% and employees a minimum of 5% but there are calls for these amounts to increase.
