The Government has introduced legislation designed to help individuals save more for their retirement.  It requires all employers to enrol their employees into a workplace pension scheme.


Key Points for Employees:

  • You have a choice – you can opt out/in now or in the future
  • You will have your own pension pot and can make choices about it if you want to (but you do not have to)
  • You are not the only one paying in – your employer contributes and you get tax relief
  • Makes it easy for you to save for retirement
  • You should get personalised information from the start about the money paid into your pension pot
  • The full basic State Pension is £155.65 a week (this could change). Whilst it helps increase the amount you receive in retirement, you will probably want more.
  • This does not replace or affect entitlement to the State Pension
  • It is never too early or too late to save for your retirement
  • Builds peace of mind for your future
  • It is a government change and every employer has to offer it
  • Pensions are a long-term investment and they usually produce better returns than savings accounts*
  • Having a pension does not rule out other ways of saving
  • Pensions are now better protected
  • The money is not lost if you move jobs or die before you retire

*past performance is no indication of future returns
