This document summarizes key aspects of the 2012 UK pension reforms introducing automatic enrollment of eligible employees into qualifying pension schemes. Major points include: employers will be required to automatically enroll eligible jobholders earning over £8,105 per year into a pension scheme and contribute a minimum amount; contribution requirements will be phased in over time, eventually reaching 3% from employers and 5% total; employers should prepare for their staging date when the requirements begin by assessing their workforce, reviewing existing pension provisions, and communicating the changes to employees.
