Auto-Enrolment & Personal Accounts: Summary of Proposals

The Pensions Act 2008 includes the duty on employers to auto enrol “Eligible Employees” into a Qualifying Workplace Pension Scheme (QWPS). The duty is expected to begin from 2012, but may be staged according to employer size.  A QWPS will be either the “Personal Accounts Scheme” or any other employer sponsored pension arrangement that satisfies specified quality tests.

Auto-enrolment is likely to have a major effect on employers, particularly for those with low pension membership participation rates or significant numbers of non-pensioned employees.
