Auto Enrolment Pension
What does Auto Enrolment mean for your business?
​
If you employ, you must set up a company pension scheme.
​
Both you and your employees will be contributing to the Pension.
Pension Contributions
​
What does it cost? Employees pay 5% of their salary and you 3%
​
Our Payroll department can sort this out for you effortlessly.
​
How employees are added is based on their earning and age.
If your Employee earns over £10,000 between 22 and state pension age, they are automatically enrolled, and you must contribute to their pension.
If they earn £5,824 but less than the £10,000, they have not enrolled automatically but can choose to “Opt-In”, and you will also have to contribute to the pension.
If your employee earns less than £5,824, they can Opt-in, and it's up to you whether you contribute as well to their pension.
Employees can opt-out if they wish but automatically enrol every three years.
