Employers reviewing existing workplace pension schemes against the automatic enrolment
(AE) criteria may find they have a duty to consult with their workers. This could apply if they
are considering amending contributions to an existing occupational pension scheme (OPS)
or group personal pension (GPP) or closing an existing OPS as part of the process. This presents
an ideal opportunity to promote the benefits of pension saving. Consultation with employees
about their pension provision is likely to increase their engagement with the process.
WHEN DOES THE DUTY TO CONSULT APPLY?
The consultation rules apply to employers who:
have at least 50 employees (not members)
sponsor an OPS (including final salary and money purchase
but not one member schemes)
operate a GPP via salary deduction into which they make
contributions from their own resources.
