Automatic enrolment
There is growing evidence that using automatic enrolment is one of the most effective ways of increasing levels of workplace pension scheme membership.
The guidance sets out the Government’s view of the circumstances in which auto-enrolment into workplace group personal pensions (GPPs) and stakeholder pensions (SHPs) can be used within current regulations.
Except where stated, the issues covered by this guidance are relevant in the context of workplace GPPs and SHPs only and not occupational pensions.
This guidance is intended primarily to advise businesses, and their legal advisers or representatives, of the main regulatory issues they need to be aware of when using automatic enrolment techniques in the workplace.
