Template letters

NILGOSC has created template letters for employers to use when they are contacting their staff regarding Automatic Enrolment and Automatic Re-Enrolment. The tables below list each letter type and outlines when each letter should be used. Employers can make any changes they feel are necessary, however the text in blue is required by law.

Amendments made on 6th August 2015 removed the requirement to provide active members with automatic enrolment information and simplified the information that must be given to staff.

Template Letters – Automatic Re-Enrolment

Letter W – To be issued to eligible jobholders who are not being automatically re-enrolled into NILGOSC under the automatic enrolment rules as the employer has chosen not to because one of the exemptions applies. thumbnail
