Another question on Auto Enrolement

I have just been advised that where a company only pays directors, who don't have contracts with the company, would fall outside the scope of auto-enrolment. This sounds a little bit too good to be true, has anyone else heard of this?
Or would the fact that the director receives a payroll, imply there is an employment contract?

It's true!

What if my client doesn’t have any staff other than directors?
Your client won’t have any duties if any of the following apply:
they are the sole director
the only people working for them are a number of directors, none of whom have an employment contract
the only people working for them are a number of directors, only one of whom has an employment contract
Automatic enrolment will apply if more than one director has a contract of employment.1 -
But still need to tell TPR that you are not an employer for auto-enrolment https://automation.thepensionsregulator.gov.uk/notanemployer2
