EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into operation section 8 of the Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2012, in so far as it is not already in operation, on 1st April 2015.
Section 8 amends section 6(1)(b) of the Pensions (No. 2) Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (c. 13 (N.I.)) so that three years is substituted by two years and nine months. This will ensure that automatic re-enrolment will not happen more frequently than once in every period of two years and nine months. The two years and nine months interval applies to the employer rather than the jobholder.
