If you’re a type 2 employee (because you don’t meet the type 1 criteria above), you won’t be put into your employer’s pension scheme automatically, but you can still ask to join it if you’d like to.
- As long as you’re aged 16-74.
- And you’re earning more than £6,240 a year / £520 a month / £120 a week.
- You’re aged 16-74.
- And you’re earning less than £6,240 a year / £520 month / £120 a week.

(If you’re younger than 16 or older than 74 then unfortunately you might not be able to get a workplace pension.)
