Workplace pensions for cleaning staff
You must automatically enrol staff aged 22 to State Pension age who earn more than £10,000 a year (£833 a month, £192 a week), and contribute.
Set up a scheme before your first employee starts. Staff outside those limits may still have the right to join. The Pensions Regulator has a step-by-step tool for new employers.
The full detail, worked examples and templates are in The Clean Start. Or work out your rate with the free price calculator.
