Workplace Pension toolkit

People are living longer lives. The Government has introduced a new law designed to help people save more for their retirement. Starting from 2012 employers will automatically enrol their workers into a workplace pension if they meet certain criteria.

This toolkit provides organisations with information and documents explaining the reforms in more detail, which they can share with others.

We provide documents as PDFs for you to print and share with others. We are also providing RTF formats so you can use them in your own leaflets or newsletters.
