Non-enrolled worker growth double AE growth in October

Growth in the number of non-enrolled workers was double that seen amongst auto-enrolled workers in October 2021, according to figures from The Pensions Regulator (TPR).

TPR’s latest Automatic enrolment declaration of compliance revealed that the number of auto-enrolled workers had grown by 21,000 to 10,582,000, while non-enrolled workers increased by 42,000 to 10,214,000.

This represents the fifteenth consecutive month that non-enrolled worker growth has outpaced auto-enrolled worker growth, with the gap between the two groups narrowing from 577,000 to 368,000 during this time.

The past month also saw the total number of eligible employers increase by 72,000 to 33,138,000 and the number of employers confirming the completion of their declaration of compliance increased by 16,897 to 1,936,123.

The figures for TPR's 's Automatic enrolment declaration of compliance are compiled from information submitted by employers when they complete their declaration of compliance with auto-enrolment.

TPR said the figure for auto-enrolled jobholders was likely to be higher than that shown in the report, as some employers will have reached their duties start date and automatically enrolled their eligible employees without having completed their declaration.
