If you are already a member of one of the University’s pension schemes there will be no change for you as a result of pension auto enrolment.
For the University of Glasgow, the date from which we need to implement auto enrolment is 1 April 2013.
If you are not currently paying into a pension scheme the University will be required, by law, to auto enrol you into a workplace pension if you are aged between 22 and State pension age (currently 65) and have earnings above the statutory minimum amount of £787 per month. If you do not meet the criteria to be auto enrolled you will have the opportunity to join a scheme if you wish.
Further information, including FAQs, can be found on our webpage – www.gla.ac.uk/pensionautoenrolment
We will be writing to everyone during April with more detailed information about how auto enrolment will affect you as an individual. We will also be holding auto enrolment briefing sessions in April; details are at www.gla.ac.uk/pensionautoenrolment/briefingsessions
