Employees will fall into one of 2 categories:
Type 1 – employees who must be put into a pension scheme (eligible jobholders).
So, any employees who are aged between 22 and the State Pension age (SPA) and earn over £10,000 per year, or £833 per month or £192 per week.
Type 2 – if an employee is a type 2 employee (because they don’t meet the type 1 criteria above), they won’t be put into the pension scheme automatically, but they can still ask to join it if they’d like to.
