Automatic enrolment hits the two million mark
18 December 2013
More than two million workers have begun saving into a workplace pensions scheme as a result of automatic enrolment, according to figures released by The Pensions Regulator.
Automatic enrolment began in October 2012 and is rolling out from the largest to the smallest employers across the UK. All employers, including charities and the public sector, will eventually need to assess their workforce and automatically enrol eligible workers into a pension scheme. This month’s automatic enrolment registration report shows that more than 3,500 employers have now joined the workplace pensions revolution and submitted an online declaration of compliance by completing registration with The Pensions Regulator.

Hundreds of staff at the charity the British Heart Foundation have been automatically enrolled, helping push the figure past the two million landmark.
The new year will see a leap in the number of firms affected, with tens of thousands of medium employers introducing automatic enrolment. The Pensions Regulator is urging all employers to make sure they know when they must introduce the changes, or ‘stage’.
Charles Counsell, executive director of automatic enrolment at The Pensions Regulator said:
“If they have not done it already I would hope the first thing every employer does when they get back to work after the Christmas break is to check their staging date and prepare for automatic enrolment. The clock is ticking and if employers don’t plan ahead they could face unnecessary challenges and costs in the New Year.
