Pensions
August 2013
The Pensions Act 2008 established new duties that mean employers will need to provide employees with access to a workplace pension scheme that meets certain minimum standards. They’ll need to automatically enrol some of their employees and others may ask to join. Although this is not of immediate concern, there are advantages for employers to start to think about providing a scheme earlier to avoid that big surprise when it becomes a legal requirement in January 2016 for small employers. We will be looking into this in more detail in the near future.
