If I auto-enrol employees on a sacrifice basis, will allowing them to revert to higher cash pay on opting out create a tax charge?

No. HM Revenues & Customs has clarified that employees who opt-out of salary sacrifice or out of pension savings will not be penalised. Their employment contract will be amended as a consequence of them reverting to higher cash. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/
