Workplace pensions automatic enrolment: review of earnings threshold

Automatic enrolment means that employers must enrol all workers into a workplace pension if they meet certain conditions.

How much someone earns helps to decide:

• whether they will be enrolled into a workplace pension
• the minimum amount they must pay into the pension

The government reviews these earnings levels every year.

This consultation seeks views on:

• what we should take into account when reviewing the earnings thresholds for April 2015 to March 2016
• the proposed earnings levels for April 2015 to March 2016

We are interested in hearing from:

• employers
• trade unions
• employee representatives
• pension industry professionals, including scheme administrators, payroll professionals, accountants, independent financial advisers and employee benefit consultants
• anyone else with an interest
