Pension Scheme

When you start your employment with us, we (as your employer) must (by law) automatically enrolled you into our workplace pension scheme, Smart Pension. This means that we make a monthly contribution to your pension, which partly gets paid by us, the employer (at a rate of 3% of your salary) and partly by you, the employee (at a rate of 5% of your salary). Please note that the employee contribution you make gets paid by the company on your behalf and is taken off your salary before you receive your pay each month.

You will receive an enrolment letter with information about the pension scheme within the first six weeks of your employment.

You are free to 'opt out' of this scheme if you wish to, and you can also rejoin the scheme if you've opted out in the past. You will be automatically re-enrolled every 3 years, at which point you will need to 'opt out' once again if you wish to.
