A non-eligible jobholder is a person who doesn’t have to be auto-enrolled into a workplace pension.

They can ask to join your pension scheme, and you’ll have to pay monthly into their pension pots on a regular basis.

A non-eligible jobholder would be:

– aged between 16 and 21 or aged between State Pension age (SPA) and 74 and
– have qualifying earnings above the earnings trigger for auto-enrolment (currently £10,000 a year/£833 a month/£192 a week – 2020/2021 tax year)
or
– are aged between 16 and 74 and
– have qualifying earnings between the lower earnings threshold (currently £6,240 a year for the 2020/21 tax year) and the earnings trigger for auto-enrolment (currently £10,000 a year/£833 a month/£192 a week – 2020/21 tax year).
