Frequently Asked Questions
If I work multiple jobs, what happens?
Each employment is regarded individually for automatic Enrolment for those with more than one job. Individual schemes may still be avoided if desired. Each employer will determine if you are eligible to participate in their pension plan. If you are, you will be immediately enrolled in that company’s workplace pension scheme.
Since I work for myself, does auto-enrolment apply to me?
You should save for retirement and begin contributing to a pension plan since self-employed people are not automatically enrolled in a pension scheme.
Do I have to sign up for a pension at work?
If you are eligible for automatic Enrolment, your employer will sign you up for a pension plan and make payments to it. Even if your employer is not legally required to sign you up for their pension plan, you can still join.
