What is Auto-Enrolment Pension?

The UK's mandatory system requiring employers to automatically enrol eligible workers into a qualifying workplace pension scheme, introduced by the Pensions Act 2008 and fully implemented by February 2018.

Why it matters in hiring

Auto-Enrolment Pension comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
