Your pension duties toolkit

You have legal duties to provide your eligible employees with a pension scheme, keep them informed about their rights, and re-enrol staff who've opted out of your pension scheme every three years.

As part of this, you need to contribute to your workers' pots, monitor the age and earnings of your employees, and manage opt outs.

It can seem like a lot, but we're here to help.

There are two key points at which you're legally required to send personalised information to your eligible employees - before they join your scheme and at re-enrolment. Use the following guides to work out what you need to send and when, and then download our editable letter templates to send to your staff.
