Jobholder
A term used in the Pensions Act 2008 (PA 2008) to refer to an individual who:
- Works (or ordinarily works) in the UK under a contract.
- Is aged at least 16 and under 75.
- Is paid qualifying earnings by an employer in a relevant pay reference period.
When an employer becomes subject to the employer duties imposed by the PA 2008, it must auto-enrol an eligible jobholder in an automatic enrolment scheme, unless he is already an active member of a qualifying scheme. An eligible jobholder is a jobholder who is aged at least 22 but has not reached state pension age and who earns more than the earnings trigger of £10,000 a year (in the 2024/25 tax year).
