What is Auto-Enrolment?

Auto-enrolment requires employers to automatically enrol eligible employees into a workplace pension scheme and contribute to it. This was introduced by the government to encourage long-term saving and applies to most businesses with employees.

If you're paying staff through payroll, auto-enrolment isn’t optional, it’s part of your legal obligations.
