FUELING YOUR BUSINESS GROWTH
Each employment is considered individually for Automatic Enrolment, even for those with more than one job. It's possible to opt out of individual schemes if desired. Eligibility for participation in an employer's pension plan is determined by each employer. If eligible, you will be automatically enrolled in that company's workplace pension scheme.
Self-employed individuals are not automatically enrolled in a pension scheme, so it's essential to proactively save for retirement and start contributing to a pension plan.
If you are eligible for Automatic Enrolment, your employer will enroll you in a pension plan and make contributions to it. Even if your employer is not legally obligated to enroll you in their pension plan, you still have the option to join.
