UK Pensions regulator helps build employer confidence in talking to employees about pensions
Friday, September 18, 2009
As part of an ongoing campaign focused on addressing the risks facing defined contribution scheme members, the Pensions Regulator and the FSA have jointly published a new information leaflet for employers - 'Guide for employers: talking to your employees about pensions'.
The leaflet sets out questions that employers may be asked by their employees about pensions and suggests answers and other sources of information that employees can refer to. It will be relevant to employers with DB, DC and contract-based schemes. The leaflet does not increase the responsibilities on employers but encourages them to look at the activities they can do voluntarily, at little or no cost, to help their employees to get greater value from the scheme.
The Pensions Regulator and FSA have come together to publish this information with a shared belief that more engaged and confident employers can better support employees in planning for their retirement.
