Umbrella workers are covered by the automatic enrolment requirements because they are our employees. Self employed workers in the construction industry and those running their own PSCs are not. If you are an umbrella worker and you meet the following eligibility criteria, you will be classed as an ‘eligible jobholder’ for auto-enrolment purposes:
(i) You are aged between 22 and the state pension age;
(ii) You are working or ordinarily working in the UK; and
(iii) You are earning above £192 a week (if paid weekly)
As an eligible jobholder, you will be automatically enrolled into NEST. This means that unless you opt out, we will make employee and employer contributions to NEST.
