Who Is Required to Provide A Workplace Pension in the UK?

Who Needs to Provide a UK Workplace Pension?

All employers in the UK are required by law to provide a Workplace Pension scheme to eligible employees. This is known as auto-enrolment. You must auto-enrol those who are eligible and pay contributions on their behalf.

If you hire one or more staff members, you’re classed as an employer and must carry out your legal duties. It doesn’t matter if you only hire one employee to begin with, you must set up a qualifying pension scheme if they meet the following criteria:

• Classed as a “worker”
• Aged between 22 and State Pension Age (SPA)
• Earns at least £10,000 a year
• Works in the UK.
