Limited company owner asks:

Do I have to enrol my employees into a workplace pension scheme?

Acumenica answers: 

Employees must be automatically enrolled into a pension scheme and the employer must make contributions, for workers that are:

• Aged between 22 and state pension age and 
• have earnings over £833 per month (Eligible Jobholders)

Employees have a right to opt-in to the pension scheme and the employer must make contributions, for workers that are:

• Aged between 16 and 21 and 
• have earnings over £520 up to £833 per month (Non-eligible Jobholder)

Employees have a right to join a pension scheme, but the employer is under no obligation to make contributions, for workers that are

• Aged between 16 and 21 and have earnings of £520 and under per month (Entitled Workers)
