This provision requires employers to automatically enrol eligible workers into a qualifying pension scheme.

A key feature of the Act is the requirement for employers to contribute to their workers' pension schemes.

The minimum contribution rates were phased in over time, starting at 2% of qualifying earnings and increasing in subsequent years.

The regulator has the power to issue notices and penalties to employers who fail to meet their obligations under the Act.

These include changes to earnings thresholds, contribution rates, and the expansion of eligibility criteria.
