The brief

In line with Government legislation from 2013, Durham University has been automatically enrolling all eligible workers / employees into a qualifying pension scheme.

Staff employed above Grade 6 are automatically eligible for USS membership and staff below Grade 6 are automatically eligible for auto enrolment unless they opt out and apply to join DUPS.
