What is Re-enrolment?

The process of automatically putting workers back into pensions is known as ‘automatic re-enrolment’. Re-enrolment occurs approximately three years after staging and then every three years thereafter. At the Re-enrolment Date, AE Assessment occurs for all employees who previously opted out or ceased contributions more than a year before the Re-enrolment Date.

To cater for Re-enrolment, on the Configure Automatic Enrolment screen, we have added two fields, Re-enrolment Date and Previous Re-enrolment Date.

If the re-enrolment employee is an eligible jobholder, they automatically enrol into the default pension scheme or the one specified in Employee Details > Auto Enrol. The only difference is that the re-enrolment employee cannot be postponed.
