The document discusses the timeline and requirements for pension reform in the UK starting in 2012. Employers will be required to automatically enroll eligible employees into a qualifying workplace pension scheme if they are not already in one. Contribution levels will be phased in, starting at 2% total with 1% from employers. Employers have the choice to use the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) scheme or set up their own qualifying workplace pension.

Notes de l'éditeur
A way of tackling the growing saving gap and encouraging people to become less reliant on the state Employers with more than 5 employees and no alternative scheme (GPP). By October 2001. Fines of up to £50,000. To date no fines. Basic requirements were to provide access and allow salary deductions. Most just provided certificate. Discouraged by some employees. No action by many Very low take-up by employees. Seen by many as salary reduction. 74%of schemes offered report low take up
Cheap is best attitude. No remuneration for advisers. Charging structure now changed to 1.5% (1 st 10 yrs) Due to cost they were generally very basic schemes with default options ie Lifestyling. No matching of attitude to risk Nobody prepared to service schemes for free. Most schemes are identical to when they were set up Now accepted that they haven’t achieved what they set out to achieve
Centrally administered Not learnt the lessons of Stakeholder. Index tracking funds No ongoing support, standard options Delivered by e-commerce Govt experience is not a good one ie NHS, Air Traffic control, Passport etc
Takes responsibility off the employer Liaise with the relevant company for a smooth process Match employees with the correct investment risk (default option compulsory) 95% equity scheme not suitable for 60 yr old You have better things to do than worry about setting up pension scheme.
