Check who to enrol in a workplace pension script
As part of automatic enrolment, on their duties start date, your client must assess their staff to determine their eligibility for a workplace pension scheme.
The first step is to determine whether your client is an employer with duties.
Generally, if your client employs any staff, then they have automatic enrolment duties to complete.
If your client believes they’re not an employer with automatic enrolment duties, they should tell us straight away.
Not all staff have the same pension entitlements, their age and earnings determine whether your client has to enrol them into a workplace pension scheme, and whether they have to contribute to it.
Staff must be put into a scheme if they ask, regardless of their age in earnings, but your client only needs to pay into it if the staff meet the eligibility criteria.
Rules for this are on our website.
There are several factors that affect staff’s automatic enrolment eligibility, and your client may need your help.
