Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2012 Explanatory Notes

Section 9: Review of earnings trigger and qualifying earnings band

Section 9 amends section 14 of the Pensions (No. 2) Act. Whenever the Secretary of State makes an order under section 14 of the Pensions Act 2008 reviewing the qualifying earnings band for automatic enrolment and re-enrolment, section 14 enables the Department to make a corresponding order for Northern Ireland. The amendment to section 14 takes account of the introduction of the earnings trigger for automatic enrolment and re-enrolment introduced by section 6.
