Commentary on Sections Part 2: Automatic enrolment Section 15: Arrangements where transitional conditions cease to be satisfied
103.Section 15 also amends section 30 of the PA 2008. Under section 30(5) if certain conditions of deferral cease to apply, the employer must enrol the jobholder into an alternative scheme. Currently section 30(5) provides that the alternative scheme must be either another defined benefit or hybrid scheme, or a money purchase scheme. This section amends section 30(5) to give employers a further option of enrolling jobholders into a personal pension scheme.
104.Section 15 also has the effect of requiring the Secretary of State to make regulations about the arrangements that must be made by an employer in order for the jobholder to become a member of a personal pension scheme.
