Pensions ReformWhile the full proposals include reforming the State Pension to make it simpler and more generous, and extending people’s working lives, the key reforms for employers relate to the Government’s ideas for making it easier for more people to save for retirement. The Government estimates that about seven million people are currently under saving for retirement. As a result, it is putting the onus on employers to help encourage more people to save: You’ll be required to automatically enrol employees into a Personal Account, a simple, low-cost pension scheme being introduced by the Government, or your own Company Scheme if it meets certain criteria. You’ll be required to contribute a minimum of 3% of each employee’s eligible earnings which is intended to incentivise them to join. They will add their own contributions to this to meet a minimum 8% contribution rate. The Government recognises that these reforms continue to place employers at the heart of pension provision and that they can be successful only with your support. It is therefore proposing key measures designed to minimise the burdens on you: Compulsory employer and employee contributions will be phased in. Simple delivery model for Personal Accounts. Simple, straightforward, qualifying criteria for existing Company Schemes, meaning many existing schemes may continue to be offered, rather than Personal Accounts or setting up new schemes. Deferral periods for existing ‘high-quality’ Company Schemes. A ‘light-touch’ but effective compliance regime for new employer duties such as automatic enrolment. Read on for full details of these changes, and what they mean for you. |
