Every three years, UK employers must assess and re-enrol eligible employees into a workplace pension scheme - this is a legal requirement known as pension re-enrolment.
Who needs to be re-enrolled?
You must re-enrol employees who:
Are aged 22 to State Pension Age
Earn over £10,000 per year
Work in the UK
Have previously opted out, left, or reduced contributions
🔹 Note: You don’t need to re-enrol anyone who opted out or left the scheme in the last 12 months.
When does re-enrolment happen?
Re-enrolment takes place every 3 years from your original staging date (or last re-enrolment date). You can re-enrol anytime within a 6-month window (3 months before or after the 3-year anniversary).
To check your staging or re-enrolment date, visit The Pensions Regulator website or check your payroll/pension system.
