All casual workers may be eligible to join to the NEST pension scheme.
All casual workers may be eligible to join to the NEST pension scheme.
Your casual worker letter of engagement explains that the University has a duty to automatically enrol any eligible worker. The assessment for auto-enrolment for pensions is deferred for a period of 3 months from the date of engagement, so an engagement for no longer than 12 weeks will not become eligible for auto-enrolment.
