Greater freedom? More choice?

Or Pension time bomb?

Auto-enrolment is here.

Millions of workers are currently being automatically enrolled into a workplace pension by their employer and once enrolled not only will they pay into it but so will their employer and the government.

With all the pension reforms announced recently and with the government’s Auto-enrolment scheme in full flow, there is a lot of talk about how people like you are going to be affected when they finally stop working.

Depending on suitability and subject to qualifying Basic state pension Your own pension pension arranged rules, employers can either use their ownAthrough Pension arrangements Appletree scheme, a new Pension scheme to comply with these new laws, or rely on a government scheme - the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) scheme.

The government estimates about 7 million people are not saving at all for retirement, or simply not saving enough. On top of that, life expectancy is increasing – people will live longer in retirement and the size of their pension fund needs to be greater to fund this.

David Gallagher, Managing Director of Appletree Financial Solutions added, “As local specialists, we speak to people and small businesses every day who find the subject of pensions either too complicated or just plain boring.

But without professional financial advice and good planning, business owners could find themselves facing hefty fines from the Pensions Regulator.”

It has been called the most radical pension reform in almost a century.

For these reasons, the government may not be able to afford to keep state pensions at their current level in the longer term. Therefore, new legal duties will require employers to ‘automatically enrol’ their eligible jobholders into a qualifying pension scheme and pay contributions towards it. This new workplace pension reform will be ‘staged’ over a six year period depending on the size of the employer.

Pension reform Not by bread alone...

It could affect everyone, whatever your age or situation. There may not be a better

time to check whether yourabout retirement planning is going to be able to give you the To find out more Auto-enrolment contact lifestyle you want or need when you stop working.
