Auto-enrolment Pension and pay rises

Apologies if this question has been asked before.  I understand with auto-enrolment pension that employers are bound to pay a minimum % of salary in.  Could I ask if anyone knows what happens in the event of a pay-rise, should the employer contribution immediately rise, or is it rebased at the end of the tax year?

Thanks in advance.

    Its immediately however if the pay rise takes you above £50270, the employer legally only has to apply the % amount below that (and above £6240) but they could apply it to all your earnings.
