Workplace Pension – Re-enrolment

Employers must fulfil specific responsibilities regarding workplace pensions, even if you previously opted out. Re-enrollment is mandatory and occurs every three years, during which employers must re-enrol staff members who previously opted out of the workplace pension scheme. Accordingly, SmartWork must re-enrol its employees after 01/05/2023.

As this is a legal obligation for all employers, we cannot halt this process. However, you may opt out of the workplace scheme again.

When SmartWork proceeds with the re-enrollment process, our employees will be reassessed based on the following criteria:

1. They must be eligible jobholders aged between 22 and State Pension age, and earning at least £10,000 per year.

2. They must have been a previous scheme member who opted out.

For more information about this requirement, see the Pensions Regulator’s website.
