Auto Enrolment contributions – does this affect you?

From 6 April, there will be an increase in the contributions that some Industry-Wide Defined Contribution (IWDC) Section members – and their employers – need to make each month.

​This change is likely to only affect members of the IWDC Section whose contributions are currently below the new minimum.

For example, ​for contributions based on qualifying earnings, the minimum total contribution rate will be 8% of these earnings from 6 April 2019, of which your employer must contribute at a rate of at least 3%.
 

Your employer should let you know if your contributions will be changing – and by how much if you are affected by this change.
 
If you’re unsure which Section you are in, log into your myRPS account to check – or register ​for an account.
