                              Employer minimum contribution 3%

                              Employee minimum contribution 5%*

*Employee contributions are effectively 4% after 20% tax relief.

As an employer, if you do not comply The Pensions Regulator will issue statutory notices, followed by penalty notices.  Deliberately failing to enrol eligible employees and knowingly including false information on your declarations are criminal offences.   For more detailed information on auto enrolment responsibilities and penalties go to The Pension Regulator.
