Auto-Enrolment

The law on workplace pensions requires that, if you are an eligible member of staff or casual worker, QMUL must enrol you into one of its supported pension schemes – this is called automatic enrolment because it is automatic for staff – you do not have to take any action to be enrolled into a pension scheme. Auto-enrolment is intended to encourage you to save into a pension scheme to provide for your retirement.

If you are already in one of pensions schemes (USS, SAUL or NHS) your pension scheme membership will not be affected.
If you have opted out of the pension scheme already, you may be auto-enrolled at the three year anniversary as required by UK law.
