Pensions Auto-enrolment

Pensions Auto-enrolment is a legal requirement on employers to enrol their workers into an appropriate pension arrangement, if they are not already in one.  It is being rolled out to all employers over a number of years; the University will be complying with these arrangements from 1st May 2013.

You will be affected by Auto-enrolment if you are not currently a member of any of the pension schemes supported by the University (USS, RBP or NHSPS), and you meet the following criteria:

  • You are aged between 22 and State Pension Age
  • You are paid at least £787 during any month.  (This is the rate applicable from April 2013)

Further information about Auto-enrolment and how it may apply to you is available here.  Further
Information will be provided in the coming months.
