A workplace pension accumulates contributions from both employee and employer over a working career, invested for long-term growth. Auto-enrolment (mandatory since 2012) means most UK workers contribute to a pension automatically. The minimum total contribution is 8% of qualifying earnings (3% employer, 5% employee).
