Members Re-enrolment

Every three years your workplace must, by law, check if they have any workers who qualify to be in their pension, but aren’t. If they do, they must re-enrol those workers.

When you're re-enrolled

We’ll write to tell you. You can be re-enrolled even if you stopped paying in to your now:pensions account before. You can stop paying in again if you want to, but you’ll lose the benefits of being in a workplace pension - including your workplace paying in to your pension savings.

Stopping paying in after being re-enrolled

You still have a right to stop paying in and get back any money you’ve paid in so far. But you must tell us you want to stop paying in by the end date in your re-enrolment letter.

Workers will be re-enrolled every three years

Every three years your workplace must, by law, check if any workers qualify to be auto enrolled, enrol them if they do, and tell them they’ve been re-enrolled. They also must start paying into their workers’ pension savings.

Frequently asked questions

Every three years, your workplace must check if they have any workers who qualify to be in the pension but aren’t. If they do, they must re-enrol those workers.  

They have to do this – it’s the law. The government sets these rules and The Pensions Regulator enforces them.  

If you get re-enrolled, we’ll write to tell you. You can be re-enrolled even if you stopped paying in to your now:pensions account before. You can stop paying in again if you want to at any time, but you’ll lose these benefits:

  • the chance to build up pension savings for your future
  • extra money from your workplace – at least 3% of your qualifying earnings 
  • tax relief – you don’t pay tax on money you put into pension savings. The tax you would have paid goes in to your pension savings instead

As long as you tell us you want to stop paying in during the 1 month period shown in your re-enrolment letter, you will be treated as if you had never been in the pension.

No. The government thinks it’s so important to give people the chance to save for retirement that, as long as you qualify, your workplace has to re-enrol you by law. If your workplace doesn’t follow the rules The Pensions Regulator can fine them.  

You can still stop paying in and get the money you’ve paid in back, as long as you tell us within the one month period as shown in your re-enrolment email and as shown on now:u.

Your workplace has to re-enrol you – it’s the law. The government sets these rules and The Pensions Regulator enforces them. 

Yes. You still have a right to stop paying in and get back any money you’ve paid in so far. But you must tell us you want to stop paying in within the one month period as shown in your re-enrolment email and as shown on now:u.

You can still stop paying in at any time after this, but your money will stay with now:pensions until you.
