To help people save more for their retirement, the government now requires employers to enrol their eligible workers into a workplace pension scheme if they are not already in one. This means that from July 2013 the University must automatically enrol all eligible workers into a workplace pension.
Every member of staff will receive a letter at the end of July based on July's payroll information. This communication will inform you how automatic enrolment affects you, depending on your circumstances.
Eligible workers
Eligible workers are those who:
- earn over a minimum amount (currently £787 per month)
- are aged 22 or over
- are under state pension age
- are not already in an workplace pension scheme
Roadshows
The University is holding a series of roadshows during July 2013 to inform staff about this new government requirement and how they may be affected by these changes. To reserve a place, please email autoenrolment@hw.ac.uk
