Traditionally, these came from a collective agreement, or from an employer setting one up. The Pensions Act 2008 gives every "jobholder" (defined as a worker, age 16 to 75, with wages between £5,035 and £33,540Pensions Act 2008 ss 1, 13 and 88(3)) the right to be automatically enrolled by the employer in an occupational pension, unless the jobholder chooses to opt out.Pensions Act 2008 ss 3 and 16 This is a simple "defined contribution" scheme: whatever the jobholder contributes, they get out. Although collectively invested, benefits are individualised, meaning the risk of living longer and running out of money grows.

The UK has not yet codified a single definition of who is protected by labour rights. The law has two main definitions (employee and worker) and three minor definitions (jobholder, apprentice, and an "employment relation") each with different rights.E McGaughey, A Casebook on Labour Law (Hart 2019) ch 3. S Deakin and G Morris, Labour Law (2012) ch 3 EU law does have one consolidated definition of a 'worker': someone who has a contract for work in return for a wage, or an indirect quid pro quo (as in a communal cooperative), and also stands as the more vulnerable party to the contract.Lawrie-Blum v Land Baden-Württemberg (1986) Case 66/85, [1986] ECR 2121; Steymann v Staatssecretaris van Justitie (1988) Case 196/87, [1988] ECR 6159; Pfeiffer v Deutsches Rotes Kreuz eV (2005) C-397/01, [2005] IRLR 137 This reflects the kernel of classical labour law theory, that an employment contract is one infused with "inequality of bargaining power",See S Webb and B Webb, Industrial Democracy (1897) and O Kahn-Freund, Labour and the Law (Hamlyn Lectures 1972) and stands as a justification for mandating additional terms to what might otherwise be agreed under a system of total freedom of contract.
