If there are various employees who are contributing the same percentage through auto enrolment, say 5%, and the employer is contributing 3%.
Where would the employer stand if they were contributing 6% to another employee who is also only contributing 3%?
Under both scenarios the mandatory minimums are being met, but is the employer entitled to contribute a higher percentage for the other employee, even though the employee's contribution is the same as other employees who are receiving a lower employer contribution?

Yes - and here's something else which may surprise you - he can also pay an employee more wages than another employee.
Until the EUSSR makes it illegal! You'll have the 'Elf N Safety' Stasi in for a dawn raid! wake up sheeple!

Yes, he can pay different amounts to different employees. He needs to be careful of the equalities legislation, though, as is the case with with salaries. If men were consistently given a higher percentage contribution than women, for example, this would be considered sex discrimination.
But women will have their husbands to look after them in retirement. It's always been that way!
