How does a defined contribution pension work?
With a defined contribution pension scheme, you define an annual contribution, for example 2 per cent of the salary of all employees covered by the pension scheme. You can choose contributions of between 2 per cent and 7 per cent of salaries up to 12G (G stands for the National Insurance basic amount). In addition, extra deposits of up to 25.1 per cent can be made if the employee has a salary between 7.1–12G.
Choice of investment
When a pension agreement is first entered into, you as the owner of the company will choose the pension profile. The employee can then easily change their pension profile using the internet bank.
We make pensions easier for your business and your employees
Employees need different information in different phases of life. We will therefore send your employees regular emails telling them what they need to know as a member of a pension scheme. We call this the Pension Journey.
