Why is auto-enrolment happening? People are living longer Retirement is under-provided for Minority of British adults contribute to a personal pension plan The government is compelled to take action Auto-enrolment is introduced to the UK to encourage all to save for their retirement A successful model Auto-enrolment has been inspired by successful models in both Australia and New Zealand; Superannuation schemes and the Kiwisaver. In the USA the take up rate of workplace pensions rose from 52% to 82% with the introduction of auto-enrolment in 2009.

What is auto-enrolment? A new law by the government designed to help people save more for their retirement Companies are obliged to auto-enrol their employees into their scheme between October 2012 & February 2018 depending upon the number of employees in the company – “staging dates” There is a Qualifying Workplace Pension minimum criteria requirement that companies need to meet: - Permit automatic enrolment - Automatically enrol employees within three months of joining the company - Have a default investment option - Meet one of the minimum contribution tests - Meet one of the minimum contribution levels It is primarily compliance and adhering to legislation

Employers are legally required to re-enrol any employees who have chosen to opt out, and have not yet opted back in, every three years from the date of original enrolment.
