Since its introduction in October 2012, auto enrolment has transformed the way that UK employers offer staff pensions. As UK companies get to grips with the new regulations they must also consider how the changes will affect their employees who work overseas.

Over the last few years, employers have been gradually phased in to auto enrolment based on their PAYE size, with the largest employers expected to comply first and smaller employers following suit.
