"Figure 7: At least 80% of public sector employees had a workplace pension, with membership rates highest (93%) for top earners (£600 and over per week)","" "Proportion of full-time public sector employees with workplace pensions by gross weekly earnings band (current/nominal prices), UK, 2012 to 2019","" "","" "Notes","1. The public and private sectors are classified using the legal status from the Inter-Departmental Business Register (see Glossary). 2. Full-time employees are defined as those who work more than 30 paid hours per week or those in teaching professions working 25 paid hours or more per week. 3. The proportion of employees with a workplace pension where employees earn less than £100 weekly earnings band have been excluded from the figure, however these data are available in the datasets. 4. The earnings trigger for automatic enrolment eligibility was £8,105 in FYE 2013, £9,440 in FYE 2014 and £10,000 thereafter. Employees earning below the trigger level would not be eligible but could choose to opt into a workplace pension. 5. There is more volatility in the £100 to £199 earnings band due to a relatively lower sample earning this amount as this relates to full-time employment.
