EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force section 7 of the Pensions Act 2011 (c. 19) on 1st April 2015. Section 7 amends section 6(1)(b) of the Pensions Act 2008 (c. 30) 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.
A full impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order as no impact on the private, public or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
