What Is Auto-Enrolment?

Auto-Enrolment is a workplace pension system designed to help employees save for retirement. Under the scheme, eligible employees who are not already participating in a qualifying pension arrangement may be automatically enrolled into the national pension system.

Contributions are expected to come from:

• the employee,
• the employer,
• the state.

his creates a shared approach to retirement savings while increasing pension coverage among workers.
