Employers will no longer need to auto-enrol employees in certain circumstances after regulatory changes were introduced in April 2015.
From 1 April 2015, the following types of employee do not need to be auto-enrolled:
- individuals who are leaving employment
- those who cancel scheme membership before auto-enrolment
- employees whose existing pension savings have tax-protected status.
The changes were first published in March 2015 in a response to
the consultation ‘Technical Changes to Automatic Enrolment’.
