Bulletin 2: Auto Enrolment Guidance

4 March 2020

Earnings thresholds for workplace pension reform effective from 6 April 2020

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced the annual earnings thresholds for 2020-2021. See the figures that the government will use for Workplace Pension Reform compliance | Pension Regulator for the tax year beginning 6 April 2020.

Reference to these amounts appears in the letter, known as ‘Letter F’ which all Employers must send to eligible new LGPS starters when they commence pension scheme membership, along with a copy of the Membership form. A permanent updated template of this letter is also available for you on the ‘Auto enrolment guidance’ section of the Employers pages on this website.

Action for all employers: Please check that you are sending the current versions of both documents to new eligible starters. Replacement copies of Membership forms can be ordered by emailing pensions@leics.gov.uk
