Since October 2012, employers in the UK are obligated by law to enrol their employees into a pension scheme who fall within a certain age and pay bracket. Employers must also contribute towards this pension. This is called Auto Enrolment which will continue to be rolled out over the next few years with the largest companies already enroled. Employers will need to review their pension provision and make sure they’re complying with these new Auto Enrolment duties correctly.
