The public and private sectors are classified using the legal status from the Inter-Departmental Business Register (see Glossary). 2. Employee/employer contribution estimates exclude employees whose pay was affected by absence. 3. Contribution rates are not calculated as a percentage of qualifying earnings but as a percentage of pensionable earnings, hence the ASHE contribution rates are not directly comparable with the automatic enrolment minimum contribution legal definitions."
